What's the Difference Between Gene Therapy, Cell Therapy, and Gene Editing?

Gene therapy, cell therapy and gene editing are fields of biomedical research with similar goals in mind: To treat disease by changing our bodies at a microscopic level. Specifically, these approaches aim to change our genetic makeup. However, each one changes our genetic material in slightly different ways. What do these approaches have in common, and what makes them different? Let’s dive in.

Are there trials we can participate in?

[@ASGCT]

Hi Trina, you can search our Clinical Trials Finder for active and recruiting trials around the world: asgct.careboxhealth.com/. I hope that helps!

Could we cure lactose intolerance with CRISPR?

[@nigelwest5776]

Yes actually someone already did it on themselves. He swallowed a pill that change the DNA in his intestines to secrete lactase. It was only temporary though because it Modified only the surface cells Till they eventually died like normal

[@adeelmehmood8093]

Crispr cas9 can correct all kind rare diseases. Just there is need explore exactly desired location by the support of pathology Dr and then required sequences detailed

[@abhishekdev258]

Yes it can dampen all the symptoms for years.

[@terrywood3393]

So, this is in the vaccine?

[@dablackxican5978]

Looks like it. Gene therapy that is. Fact checks say it’s not soooo..

[@semlohde1]

Per the President of Bayer at the World Health Summit, the vax is cell and gene therapy. He said that in his speech and can be seen on youtube.

[@theone8331]

Fact checks are BS
