Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein.

Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein. If a mutated gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene therapy may be able to introduce a normal copy of the gene to restore the function of the protein.

Gene therapy utilizes the delivery of DNA into cells, which can be accomplished by several methods, summarized below. The two major classes of methods are those that use recombinant viruses (sometimes called biological nanoparticles or viral vectors) and those that use naked DNA or DNA complexes (non-viral methods).

In gene therapy, viruses and cells are altered.

Gene therapy relates to cells because the when you put the virus inside the cell and put back in the body it will spread to other cells.

A gene that is inserted directly into a cell usually does not function. Instead, a carrier called a vector is genetically engineered to deliver the gene. Certain viruses are often used as vectors because they can deliver the new gene by infecting the cell. The viruses are modified so they can’t cause disease when used in people. Some types of virus, such as retroviruses, integrate their genetic material (including the new gene) into a chromosome in the human cell. Other viruses, such as adenoviruses, introduce their DNA into the nucleus of the cell, but the DNA is not integrated into a chromosome.
The vector can be injected or given intravenously (by IV) directly into a specific tissue in the body, where it is taken up by individual cells. Alternately, a sample of the patient’s cells can be removed and exposed to the vector in a laboratory setting. The cells containing the vector are then returned to the patient. If the treatment is successful, the new gene delivered by the vector will make a functioning protein.
Researchers must overcome many technical challenges before gene therapy will be a practical approach to treating disease. For example, scientists must find better ways to deliver genes and target them to particular cells. They must also ensure that new genes are precisely controlled by the body.

Gene therapy is the use of nucleic acid polymers as a drug to treat disease by therapeutic delivery into a patient's cells, where they are either expressed as proteins, interfere with the expression of proteins, or possibly even correct genetic mutations. The most common form of gene therapy involves using DNA that encodes a functional, therapeutic gene to replace a mutated gene. In gene therapy, the nucleic acid molecule is packaged within a "vector", which is used to get the molecule inside cells within the body.

Gene therapy vectors are made from viruses that normally infect mice. They are turned into vectors by first removing the genes that the virus needs to carry with it to enable it to replicate inside the cells it infects. The genes removed are then replaced in the virus by a perfect copy of the gene which is missing or damaged in the patient. The genes required for virus replication have been removed means that the genetically modified virus can only deliver the therapeutic gene to the first cell that it enters. It can not start an infection and this removes any risk of unwanted side effects.
