La greffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques (GCSH) est utilisée pour traiter un certain nombre d'affections malignes et non malignes [...] La greffe permet d'administrer un traitement hautement myéloablatif de chimiothérapie avec ou sans radiothérapie (normalement létale pour la moelle osseuse), en vue de détruire les cellules tumorales sans se soucier de la toxicité hématologique qui sera contrebalancée par la transfusion de cellules souches hématopoïétiques. En général, ce traitement est administré en cas de maladie chimiosensible. 3, record 3, French, - transplantation%20de%20cellules%20souches%20h%C3%A9matopo%C3%AF%C3%A9tiques

La greffe de cellule consiste à administrer à un patient dont un organe vital est défaillant une ou plusieurs cellules d'origine humaine éventuellement modifiées, prélevées soit sur ce patient, soit sur une autre personne : ces cellules sont destinées à se substituer à cet organe et/ou à se multiplier dans le corps du patient afin de remplir la fonction défaillante. 3, record 4, French, - greffe%20de%20cellule

The technical problems involved in gene transfer therapy make heart transplant surgery look easy. Theoretically, recombinant DNA(inserting strands of DNA where they don’t naturally occur) allows for gene transplantation. Realistically, it is extremely difficult. Researchers have yet to find a way to put a healthy gene into a human somatic cell. DNA is well protected within the cells. DNA writes codes for life, and life would change if DNA were altered. The cell views altered(mutant) DNA as foreign, just like the body views a donor heart. Just like the body has an immune system, the cell has defenses against mutant DNA. 2, record 5, English, - gene%20transplantation

Si on parvient par exemple à introduire un gène d'une cellule humaine dans l'ADN d'une bactérie, ce gène se comportera dans cette bactérie comme chez l'homme. Pour pouvoir réaliser une telle «transplantation génétique» il faut que le gène en question soit découpé au bon endroit de la chaîne d'ADN de la cellule humaine et que l'ADN récepteur de la bactérie puisse être ouvert artificiellement au bon endroit. Pour faire sortir les gènes, on fait intervenir des enzymes dites de restriction et des ligases (enzymes collantes) pour leur incorporation dans le nouvel ADN. Si on parvient par une telle transplantation de gène à faire en sorte que la cellule hôte produise la protéine voulue, commandée par le gène du donneur, on obtiendra alors une protéine recombinante. La cellule hôte, une bactérie dans notre exemple, se multiplie rapidement avec son nouveau gène, ce qui fait que très rapidement, une multitude de bactéries seront en mesure de produire la protéine voulue en grande quantité, ce qui n'aurait pas été possible avec la cellule donneuse. Les bactéries sont particulièrement indiquées, car une partie de leur ADN se trouve sous forme de plasmide. Les plasmides sont parfaits pour la transmission de gènes. 1, record 5, French, - transplantation%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9tique

Existen muchas razones para la transferencia génica: por ejemplo, intentar tratar una enfermedad suministrándole al paciente genes terapéuticos. Hay muchas formas de transferir genes.
