Interface - The agreed upon way that a function is called. Example: The toaster, microwave oven, and blender in my home all have the same US 120 volt 60 Hertz interface. I can use any plug on the counter for any of them. Facade Pattern / Bridge Pattern - A go-between between 2 interfaces.
Germline Gene Transfer. Gene transfer represents a relatively new possibility for the treatment of rare genetic disorders and common multifactorial diseases by changing the expression of a person's genes. Typically gene transfer involves using a vector such as a virus to deliver a therapeutic gene to the appropriate target cells.
Gene therapy is the therapeutic delivery of nucleic acid polymers into a patient's cells as a drug to treat disease. Until September 1990, it had never been successfully done, and it is still an experimental and emerging medical technology.n germline gene therapy (GGT), germ cells (sperm or eggs) are modified by the introduction of functional genes into their genomes. Modifying a germ cell causes all the organism's cells to contain the modified gene.
