The decoding of the human genome opens new frontiers in medicine, allowing researchers to identify genetic roots of diseases and develop targeted therapies. Nicholas Wade explores the implications of this genetic knowledge, including the potential for personalized medicine that tailors treatments to individual DNA profiles. Advances in regenerative medicine, utilizing stem cells and genomic techniques, promise to replace damaged tissues and organs. This transformative approach could even lead to extending human lifespan by manipulating the genes involved in aging.
