Terapia gênica: Os genes em busca da cura
Resumo:
The possibility of modifying human genes has been the main objective of medicine since DNA was discovered. Gene therapy can be defined as the improvement of human genes, whether to correct an anomaly, or to modify the cell or tissue, for therapeutic purposes. Gene therapy is nothing more than a medical procedure that modifies cells, with the purpose of treating or curing the gene that causes a certain disease. There are already medicines released under the regulatory category of advanced therapies, however, many other studies are still being carried out, in search of the development of new molecules. One of the most important points of gene therapy is the development of safe, effective and efficient methods for transferring genes into human cells. With the development of these new drugs, we have a very positive outlook regarding the use of these drugs in the general population, in addition to being more effective for mass diseases, such as cancer, for example.
Keywords: gene therapy, vectors, genetic transfer.
