1. Therapeutic Proteins: DNA technology allows for the production of large quantities of therapeutic proteins, which can be used to treat a wide range of diseases. Examples include insulin for diabetes, growth hormone for growth disorders, and clotting factors for hemophilia.
2. Gene Therapies: DNA technology enables the development of gene therapies, which aim to cure or treat diseases by altering the genetic makeup of cells. These therapies can target specific genes responsible for diseases, either by replacing defective genes, silencing harmful genes, or introducing new genes with beneficial functions.
