In this article we will discuss about the different strategies foe gene therapy. The term gene therapy is a broad one: it encompasses many different strategies, all of which are designed to overcome or alleviate disease by a procedure in which genes, gene segments or oligonucleotides are introduced into the cells of an affected individual. The genetic material may be [...]
The below mentioned article provides a close look on the gene therapy designed for inherited diseases. Different genetic disorders are amenable to varying degrees to treatment by gene therapy. Common non-Mendelian genetic diseases may involve a complex interplay between different genetic loci and/or environmental factors, and so possible gene therapy approaches may not be .straightforward. Single gene disorders, where individuals [...]
In this article we will discuss about the principles and applications of gene therapy based on targeted inhibition of gene expression in vivo. Principles and Applications of Therapy Based on Targeted Inhibition of Gene Expression In Vivo: One way of treating certain human disorders is to selectively inhibit the expression of a predetermined gene in vivo. In principle, this general [...]
