Precision medicine, or personalized medicine, is a new area of medical treatment and health care exactly tailored to the patient’s specific requirements. Genetic testing leads this list and enables doctors to determine the genetic variation most likely to be responsible for an individual’s medical condition and accordingly target treatment precisely and effectively. This is a teaching guide that will discuss ...
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide by disrupting the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels. While current treatments help manage the disease, there is still no definitive cure. However, advancements in gene editing—particularly with CRISPR-Cas9—have opened new doors for potential diabetes treatment through gene therapy. This blog explores the revolutionary potential of CRISPR in ...
Cardiovascular diseases are still the leading causes of death on the surface of the earth. They are mainly disorders of the heart and blood vessels. What if one could tell long in advance—way before symptoms and signs could appear—who’s at risk? Well, that is the science of genomics. In the genes, awesome insight is available into this rather complicated world ...
Gene silencing represents an advancement in changing medicine, giving medicine the appropriate tool in targeting and manipulating genes responsible for disease conditions. Once new windows open, the treatment being used on genetic disorders, cancers, and infectious diseases, once the genes are silenced, or their expressions reduced in disease conditions under this new track. New knowledge related to RNA interference, antisense ...
The new paradigm shift, personal medicine, takes a storm in the world of health care. Just imagine being treated by the doctor with therapy pinpointed only to suit your particular genetic makeup; treatments can be that effective while minimizing potential side effects. Sounds like the script of some sci-fi movie? The future is now well and truly here to make ...
