Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Non-Integrating Gene Therapy Even though the gene therapy does not become part of the genome, the cell can still use the new copy of the CFTR gene to make normal CFTR proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), gene therapy may help if it can deliver a beneficial protein, to salvage dying nerve cells. The gene therapy simply is a means to boost on site production of a trophic (growth enhancing) factor, at places where nerve cells are in trouble.
Detailed explanation-3: -To treat cystic fibrosis, scientists are exploring ways to use gene editing, which would correct mutations in the CFTR gene, or gene therapy, which would provide a correct copy of the CFTR gene to cells.
