Overview
Oncolytic viruses are state of the art for treatment of cancer. Presently non engineered strains of the New castle disease virus are being used in Phase I clinical trial for oncolysis.Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed techniques that offer flexibility to engineer additional therapeutic transgenes in NDV genomes for enhancing the oncolytic efficacy. Additionally, it also enables targeted delivery of the recombinant NDV to specific site in the human body.
