Somatic gene therapy introduces genetic material into cells for treating diseases. This review covers gene therapy principles, viral and non-viral methods, and future applications in medicine and surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Medical Science

Background:

  • Somatic gene therapy offers a promising approach for treating inherited and acquired diseases.
  • This technology involves introducing novel genetic material into somatic cells to produce therapeutic gene products.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the fundamental principles of gene therapy.
  • To summarize current gene therapy approaches investigated in animal models and human clinical trials.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing recombinant viruses for gene delivery via infection.
  • Employing DNA molecules as therapeutic agents, akin to conventional medicines.
  • Developing methods for permanent gene insertion or transient therapeutic product expression.

Main Results:

  • Gene therapy strategies include both permanent genetic modifications and controlled, temporary expression of therapeutic products.
  • Approaches aim for site-specific and regulated expression of therapeutic genes.

Conclusions:

  • Initial clinical trials demonstrate safety and public acceptance, paving the way for broader applications.
  • Gene therapy is poised for widespread investigation in both medical and surgical fields in the near future.
