Gene therapy

Gene therapy is a medical technology that is used to treat genetic diseases. This method relies on changing a patient's genetic code using specific molecules called gene therapy agents. Gene therapy agents can be introduced into the body in a variety of ways, including injection into the blood, implantation of cells into tissue, or the use of nanoparticles.

Gene therapy is used to treat various diseases. For example, patients with genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis (a genetic disease that causes severe breathing problems) may be treated using gene therapy. In this case, the gene therapy agent can be administered intravenously and, as a result, affect the gene responsible for the production of proteins that cause cystic fibrosis. Other conditions for which gene therapy may be used include inherited blood disorders, cancer, neurological and psychiatric disorders.

While research has shown that gene therapy is quite effective in treating genetic diseases, there are some challenges faced by scientists and doctors using this technology. Most developments are at an early stage and require a lot of time and money for further development and improvement. An important step is the development of effective and safe gene therapy agents. Because the potential of this treatment is broad, safety must be carefully reviewed and tested before gene therapy is widely used.

Gene therapy is a technology for interfering with the genetic code of a cell in order to cure diseases and achieve a sustainable therapeutic effect. Scientists are now using genetics and biotechnology to change the DNA inside patients' cells, creating what many would call a "conscious rewiring."

One example of such intervention was our recent trip to Germany to file a patent application. We worked with a group of German scientists who wanted me and my team to correct a defect in white blood cells. This defect occurs in some people and can be corrected by genetic intervention. This is an important aspect for the development of future drugs. But the process had subtle organizational and legal nuances, so we had to avoid some obstacles and overcome others.

Here in the laboratory, we use technologies to sequence and program RNA and proteins using powerful computers with high-resolution screens. We can also control gene expression using nucleic acid (RNA) techniques and transporter proteins to ensure the correct delivery of genes to the correct cell. We can then simply design and predict the structure of the RNA or protein. Here are some of the things most people look at when talking about the prospects of genetic editing and editing
