Gene and stem cell therapies have the potential to treat a wide range of inherited and acquired disorders in humans. Gene therapy has made great progress thanks to the identification of genes involved in human disease and the development of innovative vectors and technologies for delivering therapeutic genes to various tissues in vivo. The isolation of stem cells from tissues previously thought to have minimal regeneration potential, as well as the evidence of stem cell plasticity and the synthesis of human embryonic stem cells, show that human stem cell therapy is a viable option.
