Overview of DNA-based Therapy
DNA, one of the most important sources for understanding the fundamental foundations of human life, can be developed as new therapies for disease. Diseases can be treated by replacing defective DNA with normal, healthy DNA. Designing drugs based on DNA sequence and structure can reduce toxicity and side effects. However, DNA-based therapies have poor cellular uptake and undergo rapid degradation in the body, necessitating the use of delivery systems that promote cellular internalization and maintain their activity. DNA-based therapies include DNA aptamers, DNAzymes, plasmids, and oligonucleotides for antisense and antigene applications.

DNA-based Therapy for Rare Diseases
Although most DNA-based therapy is still in the early stages, the emergence of the strategy for treating a variety of rare diseases provides a broad prospect and can help fight cancer, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, hemophilia, and other rare diseases. Advances in human genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics are also further driving the development of DNA-based therapy.
