gene therapy final
TRANSCRIPT
1. Stay silent: no one will ever find out that you are guilty and just chill. But, remember that the window doesn't get fixed.
2. Try to repair the cracked window with some tape: not the best long-term solution.

Mutations cause the protein encoded by that
gene to malfunction.
When a protein malfunctions, cells that rely on
that protein's function can't behave normally,
causing problems for whole the tissue or organ.
Medical conditions related to gene mutations
are called genetic disorders.
Gene therapy is not a simple solution - it's not a molecular bandage that will automatically fix a disorder.
Now all we have to do is deliver the gene into the proper cells and put it to work. This is not an easy job. Gene delivery is one of the biggest challenges in the field of gene therapy.

therapy away from clinics and HAVE
RESTRICTED IT TO JUST LABS ?
