WHAT IS GENE THERAPY? Gene therapy is the transfer of recombinant DNA into an individual’s body cells‚ with the intent to correct a genetic defect or treat a disease. The transfer occurs by the way of lipid clusters or genetically engineered viruses‚ inserts an unmutated gene into an individual’s chromosomes. It is basically a method for fixing defective genes that cause diseases. As Starr‚ Evers & Starr (2013) stated‚ there are over 15‚000 serious genetic disorders in the world. Most of

3.2 SEM analysis Fig. 3(a-f) shows the SEM micrographs of all the samples. It can be observed that all the particles are agglomerated in some irregular shapes‚ have no clear boundaries and are loosely packed. Moreover‚ the samples exhibit inhomogeneous grain size distribution [20]. Micrographs also confirm the decrease in grain size with substitution of Pr. The electrical and magnetic properties of ferrites are largely affected by the grain size. It is evident from micrographs that the average grain
