This is a carrier that transfers a desired gene into a target cell during gene therapy.
Vector
This was the major setback in gene therapy research in the early 2000s, involving the death of Jesse Gelsinger.

This type of gene therapy involves altering cells that can pass changes to future generations.
Germline
This gene therapy approach involves injecting therapeutic genes directly into the body.
In vivo
These are some of the limitations or challenges associated with non-viral vectors in gene therapy.
Low efficiency
This explains why somatic cell gene therapy is generally considered ethically less complex than germline gene therapy.
Not inherited
These are some of the ethical concerns surrounding germline gene therapy that have led to its prohibition in several countries.
Heritable changes
Kinda Lucky
This gene therapy approach involves altering a patient's cells outside of the body.
Ex vivo
Name at least 1 of the three ways of primarily harvesting Stem Cells
Frozen Embryos/Therapeutic Cloning/Adult Cells (Skin Cells)
This describes a key difference in how cells are handled in in vivo gene therapy compared to ex vivo gene therapy.
