Gene and Cell Therapies for Blood Disorders
Gene and cell therapies are cutting-edge medical procedures that alter the patient's genetic makeup or cells in an effort to treat or improve blood diseases.
Gene therapy includes adding new genes or altering existing genes to treat genetic mutations that result in blood problems. To do this, the new genetic material might be introduced into the patient's cells via viruses or other vectors. Inherited blood diseases including sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia have showed potential for treatment with gene therapy.
In cell therapy, damaged cells in the body are replaced or repaired using healthy cells, such as immune or stem cells. For instance, cell treatment known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been utilised for many years to treat certain blood illnesses. New cell treatments have been developed in recent years, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, which alters the immune system of a patient to target cancer cells.
