Can Molecular Biology Help in Treatment Strategies?
Yes, molecular biology is pivotal in developing treatment strategies for neonatal disorders. For example, gene therapy aims to correct defective genes responsible for a disorder. Researchers are also exploring CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, for its potential to correct genetic mutations in newborns. Furthermore, understanding molecular pathways allows for the development of targeted drugs that can mitigate or cure neonatal conditions.
