Content
Current Gene Therapy is a peer-reviewed journal published bi-monthly by Bentham Science. The journal content is aimed at academic and industrial scientists with technical focus on gene and cell therapy, preclinical and clinical research. The journal publishes articles concerning basic research and clinical applications of gene and cell therapy of diseases including new scientific methods, gene delivery systems, gene therapy treatments, as well as approaches to genetic modification with the aim of treating disease. A more recent focus of the journal includes Cell Therapy, with genetic modification, in essence ex vivo gene therapy. Previous issues have focused on the latest developments in gene transfer, gene expression and regulation, development of novel gene delivery vectors, and ex vivo gene therapies, animal models, and human therapeutic applications.
The journal publishes both full-length and mini-reviews, original research, meta-analysis, and results from clinical studies. In addition, the journal has published manuscripts focused on ethical and regulatory considerations of gene and cell therapy. As well as important regulatory, manufacturing, and logistical aspects of gene therapy research.

History
The journal's first issue was published in 2001, making Current Gene Therapy one of the oldest peer-reviewed journals with a specific focus on Gene Therapy. The original issue focused on viral vectors for gene delivery vectors and use of gene therapy treatments for oncology. Current Gene Therapy was among the first gene therapy focused journals to publish on the use of Alphaviruses for gene therapy,[2] oncolytic virotherapy using adenoviral-mediated gene transfer,[3] and the use of Fas Ligand, TRAIL, and Bax for the treatment of prostate cancer.[4]
