This book "provides the latest information on gene therapy, a topic that has attracted significant attention over the past two decades for the treatment of inherited and acquired genetic diseases. Major research efforts are currently focused on designing suitable carrier vectors that compact and protect oligonucleotides for gene therapy.

The book explores the most recent developments in the field of polymer science and nanotechnology, and how these advancements have helped in the design of advanced materials. Non-viral vector systems, including cationic lipids, polymers, dendrimers, peptides and nanoparticles, are potential routes for compacting DNA for systemic delivery. However, unlike viral analogues that have no difficulty in overcoming cellular barriers and immune defense mechanisms, non-viral gene carriers consistently exhibit significant reduced transfection efficiency due to numerous extra- and intracellular obstacles. Therefore, biocompatibility and potential for large-scale production make these compounds increasingly attractive for gene therapy.

This book contains chapters on the engineering of polymers and nanomaterials for gene therapy, and how they can form complexes with DNA and avoid both in vitro and in vivo barriers. Other chapters describe in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo gene therapy studies, and the current issues affecting non-viral gene therapy.

"We wrote this book as a practical manual introducing dental students and professionals to evidence-based suggestions for effective patient communication [...] Part I presents fundamental communication skills for dental professionals. Part II presents those skills as they are applied in specific types of patient interactions. Part III presents chairside strategies to facilitate communication with patients during each stage of a regular appointment. Part IV presents situations that sometimes challenge dental professionals and offers communication strategies for managing such challenges. This book reviews broad skills and presents specific strategies for optimal patient-provider communication. To enhance comprehension and retention of the material, each chapter includes activities such as exercises, discussion topics, and self-tests. In addition, because patient communication involves professional ethics, common ethical dilemmas are included throughout the text in a feature called "Question of ethics." This features fosters ethical behavior by enabling readers to consider how to respond to ethical dilemmas before they happen. Finally, checklists are now the state of the art in health care, so in lieu of chapter summaries we have included a checklist near the end of each chapter to provide a quick summary of the recommended communication strategies."
