Hello, so in this video we are going to determine which of the following cell targets will be the most ideal choice for a generation -based gene therapy.
00:19
So red blood cells are not a typical target cell in gene therapy.
00:24
However, there is a gene therapy approach that is used for sickle cell disease, for example.
00:31
And in this approach, versatile cells are removed from the body and they are able to turn to whatever type of blood cell the body needs.
00:43
This, however, is not used to treat genetic disorders, so therefore we know a will not be the most ideal option.
00:59
So next we have white blood cells.
01:01
And white blood cells are a very popular choice in immune cell gene therapies, where specific white blood cells known as t cells are used.
01:13
However, these treatments are not heritable for future generations, so therefore we can also cross off white blood cells...
