There are several types of biological therapies currently in use or under development:
Monoclonal antibodies: These are engineered proteins that can bind to specific targets, such as cancer cells, to mark them for destruction by the immune system. Gene therapy: This involves introducing, removing, or altering genetic material within a patient's cells to treat or prevent disease. Cell therapy: This includes treatments such as stem cell therapy, where cells are introduced into the body to repair or replace damaged tissues. Vaccines: Biological preparations that provide immunity against specific diseases by stimulating the body's immune response. Cytokines: These are proteins that regulate immune responses and can be used to enhance or suppress the immune system in various diseases.
