In gene therapy how are the genes inserted?
Working genes have been inserted into defective cells during gene therapy by first isolating a copy of the gene. Next, the working genes are planted onto a cold virus and as the cold virus infects cells, it also begins producing functional CF protein. Since the cells are "cured", they are able to transport chloride ions across their plasma membranes.
What does Gene therapy research use to alter defective hereditary material?
Researchers replace a mutated gene with a healthy copy of the gene. The healthy gene must first attach to a chromosome within a patient's cells. Then the gene needs to make the correct type and amount of protein. These techniques are still experimental at this time.
What must happen inside the cell for gene therapy treatment to be successful?
n the simplest forms of gene therapy, the DNA must be integrated into the genome of the cell (it must become part of the regular DNA that is in the cell) so that it is replicated when the cell divides and passed on to all the daughter cells. In addition, it has to integrate into a part of the DNA so that it can be expressed so that it can make the missing protein. There are other forms of gene therapy for particular diseases where temporary expression therapeutic gene is all that is needed. For example, to make a tumor susceptible to certain drugs to cure the patient. In this case, integration is not needed and the DNA needs only to get into the nucleus so the gene can be expressed.
What are pros and cons of gene therapy?
there are actually a lot of pros. despite what others think that are bad about it, gene therapy, in the future, will be extremely successful. scientists are figuring out how to be consistent with their experiments and to cure more diseases. gene therapy gives someone with a born disease to actually live a normal life. there are some cases where gene therapy is used in areas. like in London, a few people have gotten cured for blindness. and in multiple areas of the world there have been some cures for cancer and tumors. eventually, once gene therapy has become more advanced, everyone will be able to live normal and without having any troubles, hopefully :)
What are some of the risks of gene therapy?
Researchers have to overcome many technical challenges before gene therapy will be a practical approach to treating diease. Sometimes the vector doesn't reach the right body tissuses or goes into the wrong part of the cells DNA. The body may not be able to control the vector also the vector could gain back it's ability to cause dieases. And the vector could carry a virus so the immune system will fight back killing the vector. Making the gene therapy a waste of time, money and effort.

The process of attempting to cure genetic disorders by placing copies of healthy genes into cells that lack them is known as?
The process of replacing a defective gene with a healthy gene is called gene therapy. Gene therapy is done by cutting genes from the DNA of healthy cells and inserting them into the DNA of defective cells and tissues.

How does in vitro technology work?
In vitro therapy involves injecting the new gene directly into the target tissue where the individual cells must pick it up.
What factors must be considered when choosing a vector for a gene therapy trial?
The side effects, if it will cause an immune response or even may cause an allergic reaction
