gene delivery

Gene delivery is a process used to introduce new genetic material into a person's cells to treat or prevent disease. This can be done using various methods, such as specially designed viruses that carry the desired genes, or non-viral tools like nanoparticles or injections. Once inside the cells, the new genes can produce beneficial proteins or correct faulty ones, helping to address underlying causes of genetic disorders. This technique is a fundamental component of gene therapy and aims to restore normal cell function to improve health outcomes.
