《當代基因療法》是一份雙月刊的同行評議期刊，面向學術界和工業界的科學家，主要關注與疾病基因和細胞治療的基礎研究和臨床應用相關的重大課題。細胞治療手稿也可以包括應用于疾病時，細胞已被基因改造。《當代基因療法》發表了關于基因轉移和基因表達分析、載體發育、細胞基因工程、動物模型以及基因和細胞治療在治療疾病方面的臨床應用的最新進展的全面/小型綜述和原創研究。目前的基因治療發表評論和原始研究包含基因和細胞治療的實驗數據。該雜志還包括手稿的技術進步，倫理和監管的考慮基因和細胞治療。綜述應該為讀者提供一個全面的評價，任何領域的實驗生物學應用于分子醫學，這不僅是在一個特定的領域的基因治療和細胞治療的意義，而且在其他領域的研究人員的興趣。我們鼓勵作者提供他們自己對未來進展的評估和展望。對于尚未積累大量文獻的最新突破性發現，也歡迎評論。這些綜述為最近基因治療實驗研究的熱點問題提供了一個論壇，主要是為了使臨床和基礎研究人員都能獲得這些結果。含有實驗數據的原稿應為原始數據，不得發表。

Current Gene Therapy is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed journal aimed at academic and industrial scientists with an interest in major topics concerning basic research and clinical applications of gene and cell therapy of diseases. Cell therapy manuscripts can also include application in diseases when cells have been genetically modified. Current Gene Therapy publishes full-length/mini reviews and original research on the latest developments in gene transfer and gene expression analysis, vector development, cellular genetic engineering, animal models and human clinical applications of gene and cell therapy for the treatment of diseases.Current Gene Therapy publishes reviews and original research containing experimental data on gene and cell therapy. The journal also includes manuscripts on technological advances, ethical and regulatory considerations of gene and cell therapy. Reviews should provide the reader with a comprehensive assessment of any area of experimental biology applied to molecular medicine that is not only of significance within a particular field of gene therapy and cell therapy but also of interest to investigators in other fields. Authors are encouraged to provide their own assessment and vision for future advances. Reviews are also welcome on late breaking discoveries on which substantial literature has not yet been amassed. Such reviews provide a forum for sharply focused topics of recent experimental investigations in gene therapy primarily to make these results accessible to both clinical and basic researchers. Manuscripts containing experimental data should be original data, not previously published.
