From Cell and Molecular Therapies to Cutting-Edge Gene and Immunotherapies In addition to cell therapy, which often involves the use of live cells for therapeutic purposes (like stem cell therapy), there are several other types of therapies, including molecular therapies.
What is Myostatin, and what does it do?
Myostatin is a protein found almost exclusively in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles), where it is active both before and after birth. This protein typically limits muscle growth, ensuring muscles do not grow too large. The MSTN gene provides instructions for making
What is Gene Therapy and How Does It Work
Genes can play an essential role in health — a defective gene or genes can make you sick or be fatal. Acknowledging this, scientists have been working for decades on adjusting or replacing faulty genes with healthy ones to treat,
