The pace of advances in the world of science have created new opportunities and insights that give us new and more understanding of our nature and environment. Among the different fields of science, new medical sciences have drawn a great deal of attention among medical science researchers and the society. The hope for finding treatments for incurable diseases and further improvement of man's health is growing thanks to new medical technologies. Among the novel medical fields that have been extensively covered by medical and academic societies are cell therapy and gene therapy that are categorized under regenerative medicine. The present paper is an attempt to introduce the prospect of a curative cell-based therapy and new cellular and gene therapy drugs that have been recently approved by FDA (food and drug administration). Cellular and gene therapy are two very close fields of regenerative medicine and sciences which their targets and applications can be discussed together. What adds to the importance of this new field of science is the possibility to translate the hope for treatment of incurable diseases into actual treatments. What follows delves deeper into this new field of science and the drugs.
世界科学的进步步伐创造了新的机会和见解,使我们对自然和环境有了新的、更深入的了解。在不同的科学领域中,新的医学科学引起了医学科学研究人员和社会的极大关注。由于新的医疗技术,人们越来越希望找到治疗不治之症的方法,并进一步改善人类的健康。在医学和学术团体广泛涵盖的新型医学领域中,细胞疗法和基因疗法被归类为再生医学。本文试图介绍基于细胞的治疗方法的前景,以及最近被 FDA(食品和药物管理局)批准的新型细胞和基因治疗药物。细胞和基因治疗是再生医学和科学的两个非常密切的领域,它们的目标和应用可以一起讨论。这个新的科学领域的重要性在于,有可能将治疗不治之症的希望转化为实际的治疗方法。接下来将更深入地探讨这一新的科学领域和药物。
