Overview of Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is an exciting and new way to help cure and treat nearly all types of diseases and disorders. The limitless potential of gene therapy is simply mind-blowing.
Gene therapy was developed by scientists hoping to cure incurable diseases, specifically genetic disorders. Gene therapy hopes to eliminate the problem by going right down to the molecular source. Normally, treatment of a genetic disorder focuses more on the biological events resulting from that disorder, but now scientists can cure the main source of the problem: the genes.
Gene therapy, however, is a relatively new technology that is still developing today. But in time its worth will shine and aid humans everywhere on the planet!
