Precisely, gene therapy is applied under two strategies;
1. Therapeutic gene strategy
2. Gene therapy for replacing a mutated gene
Therapeutic gene strategy involves the insertion/administration of DNA that encodes a therapeutic protein packaged within a "vector", into the body. Inside the body, the DNA becomes expressed by the cell machinery, resulting in the production of therapeutic protein, which in turn treats the patient's disease.
Gene therapy for replacing a mutated gene involves the insertion of a functional gene (cloned into a vector) and administered into the body, where the functional gene express to neutralize the mutational effect.
at the gene level gene therapy is done and at the the protein level protein therapy is done
That process is called gene therapy. It involves inserting functional copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder to correct the genetic mutation causing the disorder.
Gene therapy is a method that aims to cure inherited diseases by providing the patient with correct copy of the defective gene. There are four potential approaches to gene therapy:1)Addition of normal gene to replace the function of defective gene. This is gene replacement orgene augmentation therapy.2)Replacing the defective gene with the correct gene. This isCorrective gene therapy.3)Establishment of alternative pathways that bypass mutant genes function4)Change in regulation of normal or mutant genesThe first two are the basic approaches in gene therapy
With the help of Gene therapy we can replace or supress the cancer gene
Gene therapy may not always work due to challenges in delivering the therapeutic gene to the target cells, potential immune responses, difficulty in achieving sustained gene expression, and the complexity of genetic diseases. Additionally, off-target effects, limited understanding of gene function, and ethical concerns surrounding genetic manipulation can also impact the success of gene therapy.
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
Gene therapy effects children by helping to cure disease and to lengthen lives. Gene therapy can also be used to eliminate diseases that are inherited.

not so positive, but it does depend on what kind of gene therapy and for what purpose
Gene therapy is shown promise in controlling Cystic Fibrosis.
Cosmetic gene therapy is a branch of medicine that deals with the maintenance and cure of the body disease.
