About this audiobook

What Is Virotherapy


Reprogramming viruses in order to cure illness is an example of virotherapy, which is a kind of treatment that makes use of biotechnology to turn viruses into therapeutic agents. Anti-cancer oncolytic viruses, viral vectors for gene therapy, and viral immunotherapy are the three primary subspecialties that fall under the umbrella term "virotherapy." Gene overexpression, gene knockout, and suicide gene delivery are the three distinct approaches that are used by these branches throughout the therapeutic process. Gene overexpression results in the addition of genetic sequences that make up for insufficient or nonexistent amounts of essential gene expression. Gene silencing or expression reduction may be achieved by gene deletion by using RNA-based techniques. The delivery of suicide genes involves the introduction of genetic sequences that trigger an apoptotic response in cells; this is often done in order to eliminate malignant growths. In a somewhat different setting, the term "virotherapy" may also refer to the use of viruses to cure certain medical problems by eliminating infections. This is one definition of the term.
