Welcome to Sindh Biotechnologist Association

In the realm of medical science, groundbreaking advancements continue to shape the landscape of healthcare. One such remarkable innovation is gene therapy, a cutting-edge approach that holds immense promise for revolutionizing the field of regenerative medicine. By harnessing the power of genes, scientists are striving to unlock a new era of healing, one that addresses diseases at their root cause and enables the body to regenerate and repair itself. By utilizing the power of genes, scientists are able to repair and replace damaged cells, ultimately restoring function to damaged tissues and organs. In this article, we will explore the principles of gene therapy, its current applications, and the future possibilities it holds for the field of regenerative medicine. This article delves into the realm of gene therapy and its potential to reshape the future of regenerative medicine. The Essence of Gene Therapy Gene therapy involves the introduction, alteration, or removal of genetic ...

INTRODUCTION It is defined as the technique used for the direct manipulation of an organism’s DNA to produce variations in characteristics (phenotypes) in a specific way to get the desired traits in the organisms. It has been extensively used for the manipulation of the genetic makeup of organisms. Sometimes it is also called as genetic modification and its purpose is to target the genome for alteration. In order to alter the genome, it might change the already present sequence of base pairs or it might add an extra-base or might completely delete an already existing base pair or even a complete part of DNA. It can also be used to form organisms that have DNA from another organism called transgenic organisms. This technique can be applied to a wide range of organisms ranging from a tiny virus to a fully developed sheep. GENERAL PROCEDURE For insulin production through genetic engineering following procedure is followed: First, we isolate a small extrachromosomal circular part called pl...
