Dear friends and readers, I hope you would have enjoyed reading our previous issue. Once again, I am delighted to bring to you the August 2019 edition of Microbioz India magazine, supported by the cover story entitled “Gene & Stem Cell Therapy: Adding future in Bio-Pharmaceutical Industry” a review study. Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient’s cells instead of using drugs or surgery.Researchers are testing several approaches to gene therapy, including: Replacing a mutated gene that causes disease with a healthy copy of the gene. Inactivating, or “knocking out,” a mutated gene that is functioning improperly. Introducing a new gene into the body to help fight a disease.
