Abstract
Gene therapy and gene editing arerevolutionary techniques that hold immense potential totransform healthcare. Gene therapy involvesintroducing, removing, or altering genetic materialwithin a person's cells to treat or prevent diseases,offering solutions for genetic disorders, cancer, and viralinfections. Gene editing, powered by advanced tools likeCRISPR-Cas9, enables precise modifications to thegenome, paving the way for breakthroughs in diseasetreatment, drug development, and regenerativemedicine. This paper reviews the fundamental principlesof these technologies, their applications, ethicalconsiderations, and challenges. The integration of genetherapy and gene editing in clinical practice promises afuture of personalized medicine, addressing previouslyincurable conditions, while raising important questionsabout safety, accessibility, and societal impact.
