Nucleic acid therapies

Nucleic acid therapies are treatments that use pieces of genetic material—such as DNA or RNA—to directly modify or influence how genes function within our cells. These therapies can either block disease-causing genes or bring back the activity of faulty ones. They are designed to target specific genetic issues at their source, offering personalized and precise options for diseases like genetic disorders, certain cancers, or viral infections. By delivering these genetic instructions into cells, nucleic acid therapies aim to restore normal cell function or combat harmful processes, representing a promising advance in modern medicine.
