What Are the Recent Advances in Protein Replacement Therapy?
Recent advances in biotechnology have significantly improved the efficacy and safety of PRT. Innovations include:
1. Recombinant DNA Technology: This allows for the production of human proteins in laboratory settings, reducing the risk of immune reactions. 2. Gene Therapy: Although still in experimental stages for many conditions, gene therapy holds promise for providing long-term solutions by correcting the underlying genetic defects causing protein deficiencies. 3. Nanotechnology: This is being explored to enhance the delivery and stability of therapeutic proteins, potentially reducing the frequency of administration.
