therapeutic gene editing

Therapeutic gene editing is a scientific approach that involves altering the DNA within cells to treat or prevent diseases. By using advanced techniques, such as CRISPR, researchers can precisely change the genetic code responsible for various health conditions, including genetic disorders and some cancers. This editing can correct mutations, deactivate harmful genes, or introduce beneficial ones, aiming to restore normal cell function. The goal is to provide more effective and targeted treatments, reducing side effects associated with traditional therapies, and potentially offering cures for conditions that were previously considered untreatable.
