Main description:
TheNATO AdvancedStudiesInstituteseries"TargetingofDrugs"wasoriginatedin 1981. It is nowamajorinternationalforum,heldeverytwo yearsin CapeSounion,Greece,in whichthepresentandthefutureofthisimportantareaofresearch in drugdeliveryisdiscussed in greatdepth. PreviousASIsoftheseriesdealtwith drugcarriersofnaturalandsynthetic origin,theirinteractionswith thebiologicalmilieu, waysby whichthefunctionofdrugcarriers iscircumvented and,morerecently,with avarietyofapproaches to carrierdesignor modificationthatcontributeto optimalcarrierfunction. Thepresentbookcontainsthe proceedings ofthe8thNATO ASI, "TargetingofDrugs:Strategies for Oligonucleotideand GeneDelivery in Therapy", held in CapeSounionduring24June-5 July 1995. Asthetitle implies,thebookdealswith avarietyofsystemsin termsoftheirability to transportnucleic acidsto targetareasin vitro andin vivo in waysthateffectivelymodify,supplement, correct, orcurtailthefunctionofgenesin therapy. Weexpressourappreciation to Mrs. ConchaPerringfor herassistance with the organizationoftheASI. TheASI washeldunderthesponsorship ofNATO ScientificAffairs Division andco-sponsored andgenerouslyfinancedby SmithKlineBeechamPharmaceuticals (KingofPrussia).
