Genetics a New Trail For Medical Advancement

The miraculous substance, DNA, which contains all the genetic instructions, is rapidly becoming a key to modern medicine. By focusing on the diaphanous and extraordinarily long filaments of DNA, scientists are finding the root causes of dozens of previously mysterious diseases.

Recently, scientists have made spectacular progress against a fatal genetic disease, cystic fibrosis, affecting children. The scientists have succeeded in correcting the gene defect inside living human cells by inserting healthy genes into these cells in a laboratory dish.

The Progress in the field of medical genetics is gaining momentum. Scientists are constantly trying to work on effective ways to cure genetic disorders.

The National Institute of Science and Media keeps you informed on the recent advances in biotechnology and science through the various titles published on the subject. Joel Ball, the lead author of the titles published under the NISM name is a renowned figure in publishing and scientific circles.
