A successful clinical application of gene-based therapy depends on an efficient gene delivery system. Many efforts have been attempted to improve the safety and efficiency of gene-based therapies. Nanoparticles have been proved to be the most promising vehicles for clinical gene therapy due to their tunable size, shape, surface, and biological behaviors. In this volume, the recent developments of nanoparticles for clinical gene therapy will be identified and summarized. 410 0$aBiomaterial Engineering,$x2523-8809 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aHuman genetics 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700X 606 $aBiomaterials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z13000 606 $aHuman Genetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12008 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aHuman genetics. 615 14$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aBiomaterials. 615 24$aHuman Genetics. 676 $a610.28 702 $aTian$b Huayu$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aChen$b Xuesi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910510581003321 996 $aGene Delivery$92852955 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03786nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910968890103321 005 20251117080932.0 010 $a9786613519894 010 $a9781280062117 010 $a1280062118 010 $a9780300183450 010 $a0300183453 024 7 $a10.12987/9780300183450 035 $a(CKB)2670000000176226 035 $a(OCoLC)784957822 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10546759 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000622868 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11440846 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000622868 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10643692 035 $a(PQKB)10526033 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3420800 035 $a(DE-B1597)486399 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780300183450 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3420800 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10546759 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL351989 035 $a(OCoLC)923597497 035 $a(Perlego)1089871 035 $z(OCoLC)784957822 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000176226 100 $a20120118d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe feathery tribe $eRobert Ridgway and the modern study of birds /$fDaniel Lewis 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aNew Haven [Conn.] $cYale University Press$dc2012 215 $a1 online resource (369 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780300175523 311 08$a0300175523 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tPreface -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tTranscription Notes -- $tChapter 1.

Driven by a desire to advance science, as well as by ego, pride, honor, insecurity, religion and other clashing sensibilities, they struggled to absorb the implications of evolution after Darwin. In the process, they dramatically reshaped the study of birds. Daniel Lewis here explores the professionalization of ornithology through one of its key figures: Robert Ridgway, the Smithsonian Institution's first curator of birds and one of North America's most important natural scientists. Exploring a world in which the uses of language, classification and accountability between amateurs and professionals played essential roles, Lewis offers a vivid introduction to Ridgway and shows how his work fundamentally influenced the direction of American and international ornithology. He explores the inner workings of the Smithsonian and the role of collectors working in the field and reveals previously unknown details of the ornithological journal The Auk and the untold story of the color dictionaries for which Ridgway is known. 606 $aOrnithologists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aOrnithology 615 0$aOrnithologists 615 0$aOrnithology. 676 $a598.092 686 $aBIO015000$aNAT004000$aSCI070040$2bisacsh 700 $aLewis$b Daniel$f1959-$01805766 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968890103321 996 $aThe feathery tribe$94354553 997 $aUNINA
