From Current to Cure: How Electricity in Revolutionizing Gene Therapy

On July 31, 2023 Dr. Martin Fussenegger and his team at ETH Zurich and the University of Basel in Switzerland successfully activated a <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367593122000369" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">specific gene in human cells</a>, all within the confines of a mouse’s body, using direct-current electricity. This breakthrough opens new horizons in treating genetic disorders and holds the potential to revolutionize medicine, offering patients safer and more accessible gene therapy options through wearable devices or external equipment. This promising field, known as electro genetics, has the potential to revolutionize how we approach genetic therapy and disease treatment. Unlike conventional gene therapy, which involves the introduction of gene-carrying vectors into the body, electrical stimulation can be applied externally, promising enhanced safety and practicality. <a href="https://medium.com/@CoffeeTableSci/from-current-to-cure-how-electricity-in-revolutionizing-gene-therapy-ebbdfd07d857">Visit Now</a>
