Viral gene therapy, artwork
Viral gene therapy. Computer artwork of a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, green) being carried by a virus (pink), illustrating the concept of gene therapy using viruses. The two objects are drawn at different scales. The geometric blue structure is the capsid (protein shell) of the virus. The spiral strand is DNAs double helix molecular structure. The first approved gene therapy took place in 1990. Since then, a variety of methods and diseases have been investigated and several pioneering treatments attempted. Viruses are the usual delivery method for gene therapy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Viral Gene Therapy" beautifully captures the concept of using viruses as a delivery method for gene therapy. The computer-generated image showcases a vibrant strand of DNA, depicted in striking green hues, being carried by a delicate pink virus. This visual representation highlights the crucial role that viruses play in delivering therapeutic genes to target cells. The contrasting scales of the two objects emphasize their significance within this groundbreaking medical technique. The geometric blue structure surrounding the virus represents its capsid or protein shell, while the spiral strand symbolizes DNA's double helix molecular structure. Together, they illustrate how gene therapy aims to replace or cure genetic diseases at their core. Since its first successful application in 1990, gene therapy has revolutionized medical research and treatment possibilities. Scientists have explored various methods and diseases over time, leading to numerous pioneering treatments attempted worldwide. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of the immense potential held within viral gene therapy. It encapsulates both artistry and scientific precision while shedding light on an innovative approach to medicine that holds promise for treating previously incurable conditions at their genetic level.
