Scientists/researchers often use adeno-associated viruses (AAV) as vectors because they have a low chance of spreading an infectious disease. ]]> 2021-01-20 20:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/michellekhaikham9759/fa8nx25np4ajklz2/wish/1107641271 michellekhaikham9759 https://padlet.com/michellekhaikham9759/fa8nx25np4ajklz2/wish/1107694010 Gene therapy is targeted towards treating cancer.

Your body may react to the new viruses unexpectedly and cause inflammation possibly leading to organ failure.  Introduced into the body the virus may return to its ability to cause infectious disease.
