Where will this scientific research lead us when discussing the future?
The concept of Gene Therapy has opened up numerous pathways in both the science field and the medical field. One of the impacts this therapy could possibly have on the future is definitely being shown in recent studies; the effects it has on a patient with Parkinson's Disease. Studies have recently been tested where gene therapy is actually assisting to alleviate symptoms of the disease. If the technological side of the therapy treatment develops further, researchers and gene therapists will be able to work together to create devices, like a vector, that would lower the risks of the treatment. It would also benefit the researchers in a sense that it would assist with discovering new information on the therapy and its effects on Parkinson's Disease.
Another medical impact that this therapy could have is the effect that it has had on Brain disorders. Gene therapy is currently one of the most promising frontiers in neurosurgery restorations! In the future, gene therapy could possibly lead to an alleviation of symptoms and possible cures for neurological disorders. Also, other clinical trials could possibly use viral vectors to transfer genes that bestow on a patient's tissue a desired specified activity relevant to the treatment of other degenerative diseases, stroke, and even traumatic brain injury.
