Terapia genética

Terapia genética is a medical approach that aims to treat or prevent disease by modifying a person’s genes. It involves introducing, removing, or altering genetic material within cells to correct or compensate for faulty genes responsible for certain conditions. This can be done using various techniques, such as viral vectors or gene editing tools like CRISPR. The goal is to address the root cause of genetic disorders, potentially offering long-term or permanent solutions. While still developing, gene therapy holds promise for treating diseases like certain cancers, inherited disorders, and some viral infections.
