Like something from a science fiction novel, doctors carefully injected viruses bearing healing genes into the DNA of Corey's eyes--a few days later, Corey could see, his sight restored by gene therapy. THE FOREVER FIX is the first book to tell the fascinating story of gene therapy: how it works, the science behind it, how patients (mostly children) have been helped and harmed, and how scientists learned from each trial to get one step closer to its immense promise, the promise of a "forever fix," - a cure that, by fixing problems at their genetic root, does not need further surgery or medication. Told through the voices of the children and families who have been the inspiration, experimental subjects, and successes of genetic science, THE FOREVER FIX is compelling and engaging narrative science that tells explores the future of medicine as well as the families and scientists who are breaking new ground every day"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Gene therapy $v Popular works. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Biological Diversity $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Genetics & Genomics $2 bisacsh 941 $a 5 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829012027.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204044522.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110030650.0 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718022600.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20120421061229.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB1735A6846411E18E1E30966AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
