Nucleic Acid Therapeutics And Environmental Impact

Nucleic acid therapeutics are emerging as a pivotal part of the next generation of therapies. Modalities like viral vectors, RNA forms, plasmids, CAR-T, and cell therapies are becoming more prominent in the early stages of therapeutic development. Nucleic acid therapeutics, based on RNA or DNA, are opening up exciting new avenues of treatment for researchers. These therapies can be tailored to silence, express, and modify specific genes, offering a flexible and powerful approach to disease prevention and treatment.
