Therapeutic nucleic acids represent a cutting-edge approach in medicine, utilizing DNA or RNA molecules to treat or prevent diseases by targeting their genetic roots. This innovative strategy offers the potential for highly specific treatments with fewer side effects, revolutionizing the way we address genetic disorders, cancers, and infectious diseases.

Genetic disorders are diseases caused by abnormalities in an individual's DNA, which can be inherited or occur spontaneously. They can result from mutations in a single gene, multiple genes, or be due to chromosomal abnormalities and can vary greatly in severity and symptoms.

Genetic Disorders

Cancers are a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, which can form tumors, invade adjacent parts of the body, and metastasize to other organs. Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind cancer development and progression is crucial for developing effective treatments and preventive strategies.

Cancers

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi, which can spread directly or indirectly between individuals. Understanding their transmission dynamics, prevention, and treatment is crucial to public health and the mitigation of outbreaks.
