genetically engineered therapeutics

Genetically engineered therapeutics are medicines created using advanced techniques that modify or utilize genes to treat diseases. Scientists can insert, delete, or alter genes in the lab to produce proteins or biological products that help combat conditions like cancer, genetic disorders, or infections. These therapies often involve using modified bacteria, viruses, or cells to deliver the treatment directly to the affected areas. By tailoring treatments at the genetic level, these therapeutics can be more precise, effective, and personalized, offering new hope for conditions that were once difficult to treat.
