    Glossary Gene Delivery

    introducing genetic material into cells to treat or study

    Gene Delivery, also known as Gene Transfer, is the process of introducing genetic material (DNA or RNA) into cells to treat diseases, study gene function, or produce therapeutic proteins. This can be achieved using various methods, such as viral vectors, liposomes, or physical techniques like electroporation. In the context of hair and alopecia, gene delivery could potentially be used to correct genetic defects or stimulate hair growth by delivering specific genes to hair follicle cells.
