Gene therapy uses healthy genes to treat diseases. Metabolic engineering can enhance gene therapy by identifying disease genes, improving delivery, and controlling gene expression for conditions like cystic fibrosis, cancer, and diabetes.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology and Genetic Medicine
  • Molecular Biology and Disease Mechanisms

Background:

  • Gene therapy aims to correct genetic disorders by introducing functional genes.
  • Cellular dysfunction in inherited and acquired diseases presents a target for therapeutic intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the integration of metabolic engineering with gene therapy protocols.
  • To highlight the potential of metabolic engineering in advancing gene therapy applications.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing existing gene therapy approaches for various diseases.
  • Analyzing the role of metabolic engineering in gene identification and pathway elucidation.
  • Assessing the development of gene delivery systems and expression control.

Main Results:
