Disorders Causing Bleeding Tendency
The process of blood coagulation is extremely complex and is influenced by numerous factors. Any abnormality in the system can have serious consequences, as a disruption in coagulation can lead to bleeding or thrombosis. The background of abnormal bleeding tendencies often involves deviations in the functioning of the vascular system, platelets, or coagulation factors present in the plasma. Disorders of the coagulation process can be traced back to very different causes. Abnormal conditions can be hereditary, arising from the genetic background of diseases, or acquired, resulting from various external influences such as medications or diseases. Understanding the causes of bleeding tendencies is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. Bleeding disorders…

The Potential of Gene Therapy
The treatment of genetic disorders is one of the greatest challenges in medicine. Traditional therapies, which typically focus on alleviating symptoms, do not address the problem by eliminating the underlying causes. However, scientific research is continuously evolving, and more and more promising solutions are emerging, showing progress in the fields of gene therapy and gene editing. Gene therapy aims to restore faulty genes or improve their function. This process is generally carried out through molecular biological techniques that allow new genes to be introduced into the cell nucleus. A gene, located in the cell nucleus, refers to a specific segment of DNA that plays a key role in regulating life…
