In the past, when we've tried gene therapy, we haven't had tools that have allowed targeted gene correction.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Gene therapy technology is much like computing technology. We had to build the super computer which cost $8 million in 1960. Now everyone has technologies that work predictably and at a cost the average person can afford.
I hope that the image of gene therapy is changing. It seems to be.
There's already a lot of active research going on using the Crispr technology to fix diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy or cystic fibrosis or Huntington's disease. They're all diseases that have known genetic causes, and we now have the technology that can repair those mutations to provide, we hope, patients with a normal life.
Crisper is great. The future of gene therapy looks bright.
If genetic research doesn't seemed to have lived up to its therapeutic promise, it's because sequencing is just too slow and expensive.
I think gene therapy and nanotechnology go hand in hand.
Yes, we are looking into gene therapies for immune cells to target senescent cells.
Most groups patent ways of using genetic discoveries as part of non-obvious diagnostic and therapeutic protocols and slightly or greatly altered genes.
Scientists have established huge numbers of links between particular diseases and snippets of DNA, but in the great majority of cases, this has not yet been translated into treatments that can help cure patients. These treatments will come - tomorrow, or the day after.
Hundreds of people are undergoing gene therapy today. There are no known neurological issues.
