Outline of Final Research Achievements

We will describe the development of nanotechnology for treatment against several progressive neuronal diseases towards clinical applications, especially for malignant brain tumors which is still fetal diseases. We have developed gene therapy for glioblastoma which is most aggressive and progressive tumors, using with interferon-beta genes entrapped with nano-liposomes for clinical trial since 2000. Nowadays, numerous diseases will be a candidate for the treatment of cell-therapy, inmmunotherapy , and regenerative therapy using with several kind of factors, for example, siRNA, toxin, immunoadjuvant materials, entrapped with nano-particles as a targeted materials by stereotactic robotics for the brain and spinal cord. We have now gotten several new factors expressing on malignant brain tumors, especially, astrocytoma, and using with such a molecular targeting, we will develop new treatment strategies by tumor specific attack asa a new tools for fetal diseases to prolong survival life.
