Gene therapy is an innovative medical approach that manipulates an individual’s genetic material to prevent or treat diseases. It primarily involves introducing, modifying, or substituting genes within a patient’s cells. The central objective of gene therapy is to rectify genetic abnormalities, insert missing genes, or regulate gene activity, thereby addressing the underlying causes of various health conditions. This is accomplished by delivering specific genetic material, often DNA, into the patient’s cells using diverse methods like viral vectors or gene-editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9. Gene therapy exhibits the potential to address an extensive spectrum of medical a...
