Abstract

Biotechnology is changing healthcare by giving new solutions for disease diagnosis and treatment. Advances in gene editing, RNA-based therapeutics, and cell and gene therapies are innovating values in medical intervention. Techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 enable precise genetic modifications and offer new avenues for treating genetic disorders and complex diseases. RNA-based therapeutics- mRNA rice and RNA interference are increasingly being applied in treating cancer, genetic disorders, and autoimmune disorders, expanding their scope beyond vaccines. Cell and gene therapies, like CAR-T cell therapy, are evolving to improve their effectiveness and safety over a broader range of diseases. This article describes methodologies in all these cutting-edge technologies and how they may provide targeted and personalized treatment. The discussion also brings into play artificial intelligence that further accelerates drug discovery and enhances the reliability of diagnostics. The recent results presented showcase the potential of these technologies with promising improvements in the treatment outcome of various diseases. The discussion discusses how biotechnology can revolutionize healthcare, leading to personalized medicine in which treatments are tailor-made to dose individually based on genetic profiles. This not only increases treatment efficiency but would also reduce its side effects; it can be said that it represents a significant shift towards precision medicine. Essential issues that still exist include ethics, regulations, and outreach. The biotechnology industry continues to evolve and is likely to take a front-row seat during transformation within the healthcare landscape, offering actionable and sustainable solutions. Overall, the present review gives a detailed overview of contemporary advances in biotechnology concerning changing the realm of healthcare and management of patient outcomes. Methodologies, observations, and future directions will be discussed, shedding light on how biotechnology will define the course of medicine in the future.
