no teacher today, so did a bit of reading on my own.
genetic therapy is used to replace or correct genes that express negative traits.
it is mostly used for cancer cells, but can also be used to treat infectious diseases and hereditary diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
i was wondering how they go about inserting the genes to multiple cells, or if they insert it to one. it's quite genius actually, it's called trans.. something (LAWL i'll check later) and they use viruses to spread the new gene to other cells.
genius really.
