genetic therapeutics

Genetic therapeutics involve modifying or editing a person’s genes to treat or prevent diseases. This can include replacing faulty genes with healthy ones, turning off problematic genes, or editing genes directly using advanced tools like CRISPR. The goal is to address the root cause of genetic disorders, potentially offering cures rather than long-term symptom management. These therapies can be delivered via injections, viruses, or other methods, and are used for conditions like certain cancers, genetic disorders, and some infectious diseases. While promising, they also require careful regulation and ongoing research to ensure safety and effectiveness.
