Gene Therapy
Modifying or replacing faulty genes to treat disease at its source — a frontier of modern medicine where China is a global leader.
What is Gene Therapy?
Gene therapy involves modifying or replacing faulty genes to treat or prevent disease. This can include inserting a normal gene to replace a mutated one, inactivating a malfunctioning gene, or introducing a new gene to help fight disease.
China is at the forefront of gene therapy research with multiple approved products. In fact, Gendicine, the world's first commercially approved gene therapy product, was developed and approved in China, marking a milestone in global medical history.
How It Works
Gene Identification
Identifying the specific genetic mutation or deficiency responsible for the disease through advanced genomic testing.
Vector Design
Creating a delivery vehicle (usually a modified virus) to carry the therapeutic gene into the patient's cells.
Delivery
The therapeutic gene is delivered to target cells via injection, infusion, or direct application to affected tissues.
Expression
The new gene integrates and begins producing the correct protein, restoring normal cell function.
