What Are the Different Uses of Gene Therapy?
Gene delivery material, or gene vector, is a material that introduces genes into cells for therapeutic purposes. The gene vector can send the target gene into the target cell, and then release the target gene. Some target genes can also be integrated into the nucleus, thereby exerting the therapeutic function of the target gene.
