This document discusses gene therapy, including its introduction, types, strategies, approaches, methods, target cells, and vectors. Gene therapy involves introducing genes into cells to treat genetic defects or diseases. There are two main types - somatic gene therapy targets somatic cells to treat an individual without inheritance, while germline gene therapy targets germ cells to make the therapy heritable. Common strategies include gene augmentation, targeted killing of diseased cells, inhibition of gene expression, and correction of mutated genes. Methods include ex vivo therapy of cultured cells outside the body and in vivo therapy of direct gene transfer inside the body. Viral and non-viral vectors are used to deliver therapeutic genes to different target cells depending on the disease.

Gene therapy is an experimental treatment that involves introducing genetic material into a person’s cells to fight or prevent disease. Researchers are studying gene therapy for a number of diseases, such as severe combined immuno-deficiencies, hemophilia, Parkinson's disease, cancer and even HIV, through a number of different approaches (see video: 'Gene Therapy a new tool to cure human diseases'). A gene can be delivered to a cell using a carrier known as a “vector.” The most common types of vectors used in gene therapy are viruses. The viruses used in gene therapy are altered to make them safe, although some risks still exist with gene therapy. The technology is still in its infancy, but it has been used with some success.
Application of Biotechnology In Medicine By Anila Rani Pullaguraanilarani
Biotechnology is a very huge field and its applications are used in a variety of fields of science such as agriculture and medicine. Medicine is by means of biotechnology techniques so much in diagnosing and treating dissimilar diseases. It also gives opportunity for the populace to defend themselves from hazardous diseases.
Gene therapy refers to the insertion of genetic material to correct a genetic defect.
In gene therapy, a "normal" gene is inserted into the genome to replace an "abnormal," disease-causing gene
Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutic Delivery System.pptxPrachi Pandey
The delivery of nucleic acid molecules into cells to alter physiological functions at the genetic level is a powerful approach to treat a wide range of inherited and acquired disorder.
This technique has been a common research tool in laboratory for decades to study gene functions.
The therapeutic potential of this approach was not fully realized due to lack of reliable and practical methods to transfer and express recombinant DNA in mammalian cells.
Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutic Delivery System.pptxRAHUL PAL
Therapeutic nucleic acids (TNAs) are nucleic acids themselves or closely related compounds used to treat disease. Although various types of TNAs exist, they share a common mechanism of action that is mediated by sequence‐specific recognition of endogenous nucleic acids through Watson–Crick base pairing 7.
What are the advantages of nucleic acid based therapeutics?
The major advantage of nucleic acid-based therapeutics lies in the fact that they can be used to accurately target a tumor or tissue, then have a specific therapeutic protein, biologic, or immune engager expressed only at the site of interest.
This presentation focuses on the science of Gene Therapy, the techniques of germ-line and somatic gene therapy and the mechanism of curing diseases and disorders using gene therapy. The presentation starts by discussing some common basic terms from genetics and moves on to the historical development of gene therapy techniques in chronological order. The different types of gene therapy techniques and their mechanisms have been discussed in detail subsequently. In concluding slides, some commercially available gene therapy products are mentioned and challenges of gene-therapy techniques have been highlighted.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Gene therapy
1. -A Presentation by Samvartika Majumdar
8/10th Semester
Int MSc. Biotechnology
2. INTRODUCTION :
Gene therapy is a novel treatment method which utilizes
genes or short oligonucleotide sequences as therapeutic
molecules, instead of conventional drug compounds.
This technique is widely used to treat those defective genes
which contribute to disease development.
It involves the introduction of one or more foreign genes
into an organism to treat hereditary or acquired genetic
defects.
The disease is treated with minimal toxicity, by the
expression of the inserted DNA by the cell machinery.
3. In 1990 FDA for the first time approved a gene therapy
experiment on ADA-SCID in the United States after the
treatment of Ashanti DeSilva.
Many diseases such as ADA-SCID, X-linked SCID, Leber's
congenital amaurosis (a retinal disease), Parkinson's
disease, multiple myeloma, chronic and acute lymphocytic
leukemia, adrenoleukodystrophy have reported of
successful clinical trials.
But these are still not approved by FDA. Some other
diseases on which gene therapy based research is going on
are Haemophilia, Tyrosinemia, Hyperbilirubinemia, Cystic
Fibrosis and many other cancers.
After 30 years of research and clinical trials, only one
product called Glybera got approval in November 2012
which was made available in market in the late 2013. It has
the ability to cure lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPLD) a
very rare disease.
4. TYPES OF GENE THERAPY :
There are several approaches for correcting faulty
genes; the most common being the insertion of a
normal gene into a specific location within the genome
to replace a non functional gene.
Gene therapy is classified into the following two types:
1. Somatic gene therapy
2. Germ line gene therapy
5. Somatic Gene Therapy :-
In somatic gene therapy, the somatic cells of a patient
are targeted for foreign gene transfer.
In this case the effects caused by the foreign gene is
restricted to the individual patient only, and not
inherited by the patient's offspring or later
generations.
Germ Line Gene Therapy :-
Here, the functional genes, which are to be integrated
into the genomes, are inserted in the germ cells, i.e.,
sperm or eggs.
Targeting of germ cells makes the therapy heritable.
6. GENE THERAPY STRATEGIES :
Gene Augmentation Therapy (GAT) :-
In GAT, simple addition of functional alleles is used to
treat inherited disorders caused by genetic deficiency
of a gene product, e.g. GAT has been applied to
autosomal recessive disorders.
Dominantly inherited disorders are much less
amenable to GAT.
7. Targeted Killing of Specific Cells :-
It involves utilizing genes encoding toxic compounds
(suicide genes), or prodrugs (reagents which confer
sensitivity to subsequent treatment with a drug) to kill
the transfected/ transformed cells.
This general approach is popular in cancer gene
therapies.
8. Targeted Inhibition of Gene Expression :-
This is to block the expression of any diseased gene or
a new gene expressing a protein which is harmful for a
cell.
This is particularly suitable for treating infectious
diseases and some cancers.
9. Targeted Gene Mutation Correction :-
It is used to correct a defective gene to restore its
function which can be done at genetic level by
homologous recombination or at mRNA level by using
therapeutic ribozymes or therapeutic RNA editing.
10. GENE THERAPY APPROACHES :
1. Classical Gene Therapy :-
It involves therapeutic gene delivery and their
optimum expression once inside the target cell. The
foreign genes carry out following functions.
Produce a product (protein) that the patient lacks;
Produces toxin so that diseased cell is killed.
Activate cells of the immune system so as to help in
killing of diseased cells.
2. Non-classical gene therapy :-
It involves the inhibition of expression of genes
associated with the pathogenesis, or to correct a
genetic defect and restore the normal gene expression.
11. METHODS OF GENE THERAPY :
There are mainly two approaches for the transfer of
genes in gene therapy:
1. Transfer of genes into patient cells outside the body
(ex vivo gene therapy)
2. Transfer of genes directly to cells inside the body (in
vivo gene therapy).
12. Ex Vivo Gene Therapy :-
In this mode of gene therapy genes are transferred to the
cells grown in culture, transformed cells are selected,
multiplied and then introduced into the patient.
The use of autologous cells avoids immune system rejection
of the introduced cells.
The cells are sourced initially from the patient to be treated
and grown in culture before being reintroduced into the
same individual.
This approach can be applied to the tissues like
hematopoietic cells and skin cells which can be removed
from the body, genetically corrected outside the body and
reintroduced into the patient body where they become
engrafted and survive for a long period of time.
13.
14. In Vivo Gene Therapy :-
In vivo method of gene transfer involves the transfer of cloned
genes directly into the tissues of the patient.
This is done in case of tissues whose individual cells cannot be
cultured in vitro in sufficient numbers (like brain cells) and/or
where re-implantation of the cultured cells in the patient is not
efficient.
Liposomes and certain viral vectors are employed for this
purpose because of lack of any other mode of selection.
In case of viral vectors such type of cultured cells were often used
which have been infected with the recombinant retrovirus in
vitro to produce modified viral vectors regularly. These cultured
cells will be called as vector-producing cells (VPCs)). The VPCs
transfer the gene to surrounding disease cells.
The efficiency of gene transfer and expression determines the
success of this approach, because of the lack of any way for
selection and amplification of cells which take up and express
the foreign gene.
