CSP: introduction of functioning gene or genes into cells for the purpose of correcting an inborn genetic error, treating a disease by restoring or adding gene expression, or providing a new function to the cell; new genes may be introduced into proliferating cells in vivo (e.g., bone marrow) or in vitro (e.g., fibroblast cultures) and the modified cells transferred to the site where the gene expression is required.,NCI: Treatment that alters a gene. In studies of gene therapy for cancer, researchers are trying to improve the body's natural ability to fight the disease or to make the cancer cells more sensitive to other kinds of therapy.,NCI: Application of genetic material into cells in order to correct an inherited or acquired disease.,MSH: The processes by which highly specific gene sequences in a host cell are targeted and regulated for the purpose of reversing and or curing a disease.,NCI: Application of genetic material (usually DNA) into cells in order to permanently correct an inherited disease or an
