Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Therapy: Progress and Lessons Learned

The use of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to treat genetic blood cell diseases has become a clinical standard but is limited by the availability of suitable matched donors and potential immunologic complications. Gene therapy using autologous HSCs should avoid these limitations and thus may be safer. Progressive improvements in techniques for genetic correction of HSCs, by either vector gene addition or gene editing, are facilitating successful treatments for an increasing number of diseases. We highlight the progress, successes, and remaining challenges toward the development of HSC gene therapies and discuss lessons they provide for the development of future clinical stem cell therapies.
