Despite their potential, gene therapy and immunotherapy come with their own set of challenges:
1. Safety Concerns: There is always a risk of unintended effects, such as an immune response against the introduced genes or proteins. 2. Cost and Accessibility: These treatments are often expensive and may not be accessible to everyone who needs them. 3. Technical Limitations: The delivery of genes or immune-modulating agents into the body in a controlled and effective manner remains a significant hurdle.
