Study Notes
- Genetic diseases are caused by mutations in DNA.
- Some genetic diseases can be passed down to future generations.
- Cell therapy and gene therapy are biomedical treatments for diseases.
- Both therapies aim to treat, prevent, or cure diseases.
- Cell therapy restores or alters sets of cells, while gene therapy replaces or introduces genes into cells.
- Cell therapy uses cultivated or modified cells, while gene therapy alters genes in specific types of cells.
- Some therapies are considered both cell and gene therapies.
- Both therapies have the potential to alleviate the underlying cause of genetic diseases.
- Gene therapy can be done inside or outside the body, while cell therapy is done outside the body.
- Both therapies have different approaches but share the goal of treating diseases.
