Magnets and gene therapy
Gene therapy is a method of curing diseases in the cells and tissues of an individual by inserting genes to replace defective ones (known as mutant alleles). This technology could prove to be very useful in treating cancerous cells and malignant tumors.
Functional genes carried by human cells aimed to cure the mutant alleles are inserted with tiny magnets for easier navigation of such cells. The cells can accurately reach the cancerous cells or malignant tumors by placing another magnet in the tumor to attract the “curative” cells. This technique is still on its birth stage but if it can it be fully developed its full potential, curing disease through gene therapy can be very effective and efficient.
