Shape Your Future: Gene Therapy | Esco VacciXcell

Genes carry the information that makes a person unique such as the eye color, hair type, height, and smile. Genes consist of DNA, which is bound to mutate over the lifespan of an individual. Often, these mutations cause life-threatening diseases that cannot be cured by medications. Mutations are generally influenced by mistakes in DNA replication or driven by environmental factors and carcinogenic substances. A promising treatment for diseases influenced by mutations is a technique called gene therapy which commonly utilizes viral vectors to deliver genetic material. Gene therapy allows scientists and doctors to treat diseases through the insertion of an engineered gene into the patient’s cell. Further understand gene therapy, the common vectors used, and the role of Tide Motion bioreactors in simplifying and enhancing the manufacturing process of viral vectors: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
