Cell therapy gene
Cell and gene therapy are types of medical treatments aiming to prevent, treat, or cure diseases, often diseases with an underlying genetic abnormality. Cell therapy works by restoring damaged cells or using cells to deliver a therapy throughout the body. Gene therapy works directly on the genetic material in a cell in a variety of ways such as introducing a new gene or inactivating a gene negatively impacting the patient.
