Synthetic Biology
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are small viruses that are commonly used as vectors for gene therapy and cell-based therapeutics. They are known for their ability to deliver genetic material into host cells without causing significant immune responses, making them a preferred choice for long-term expression of therapeutic genes. Their versatility in targeting various cell types and tissues adds to their importance in the development of innovative medical treatments.
congrats on reading the definition of AAVs. now let's actually learn it.
