Gene-based medicines show promise for disease prevention and management, despite challenges. Advances in xenotransplantation may also provide gene-modified organs for human transplants, addressing donor organ shortages.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Genetics
  • Transplantation Medicine

Background:

  • Gene-based medicines offer novel therapeutic potential beyond traditional chemical and protein treatments.
  • Progress in gene therapy has been hindered by limited disease genetic understanding, complex biological agent development, and rigorous safety testing.
  • The field faces technological hurdles and clinical setbacks, impacting the pace of innovation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the future potential of gene-based medicines in disease prevention and management.
  • To highlight the emerging role of xenotransplantation in addressing the shortage of human donor organs.
  • To discuss the integration of gene-modified porcine organs for human transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current research in gene therapy and its challenges.
