Hematopoietic Stem Cells HSCs are Particularly Useful in Gene Therapy

Question

Hematopoietic stem cells HSCs are particularly useful in gene therapy because .
A)they differentiate into all tissue types
B)they are useable across many patients without rejection fears
C)they are easy to obtain from patients
D)they are short lived in vitro

Accepted Answer

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are particularly useful in gene therapy because they can be easily obtained from patients, for instance, through bone marrow extraction or from peripheral blood after mobilization. This accessibility makes them a practical target for gene therapy applications aimed at treating blood and immune system diseases.
