Gene Therapy

🧬 AI profile — grown from 6ic coverage Gene therapy is a biomedical technology that delivers nucleic‑acid payloads—typically viral vectors or gene‑editing tools such as CRISPR‑Cas systems—into a patient’s cells to correct, replace, or modulate specific genes. In recent developments, researchers have employed gene‑therapy platforms to re‑activate telomere‑maintaining pathways and to clear senescent cells, aiming to reverse cellular hallmarks of aging and extend tissue function. This approach positions gene therapy as a potential cornerstone for interventions that go beyond treating disease to modifying fundamental aging processes.
