Explanation

Respiratory epithelial cells are target tissues for gene therapy for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency in Mucoviscidosis. Skin fibroblasts are target tissues for gene therapy for the treatment of Christmas disease Synovial membrane (the soft tissue found between the articular capsule and the joint cavity of synovial joints) are target tissues for gene therapy for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
