However, the reuse of genetic or clinical research data comes with ethical\u0000challenges that need careful consideration. Here are some of the key ethical issues associated\u0000with the re-use of such data: Reusing data without clear informed consent raises issues\u0000of autonomy and respect for individuals' choices.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The main aim of this study is to assess the understanding of individuals involved\u0000in clinical trials regarding the sharing of genetic research information.

There is a lack of\u0000awareness and understanding regarding the re-use of genetic sample data and ethical issues\u0000among the trial participants. Researchers must take measures to de-identify or anonymize\u0000data to protect participants. There is a clear need for comprehensive awareness\u0000programs and guidelines aimed at all clinical trial stakeholders.

This manuscript presents an extensive overview of the existing knowledge concerning the utilization of exosomes and EVs in gene therapy and\u0000personalized healthcare. It delves into their inherent capacity for transferring genetic material, their limited immunogenicity, and their potential for precise and targeted delivery.\u0000Furthermore, the paper investigates the ever-evolving domain of biomarker discovery,\u0000where exosomes and EVs hold substantial promise for the early detection of diseases and\u0000the monitoring of treatment responses. As ongoing research advances, the manuscript explores the potential for refining protocols related to standardization and quality control,\u0000along with the optimization of scalable manufacturing methods. Additionally, the manuscript sheds light on the burgeoning potential for individualized treatments driven by genomic profiling. By examining these facets, we foresee that exosomes and EVs will play\u0000a pioneering role in ushering in a new era of precision medicine, offering safer, more efficacious, and highly customized therapeutic interventions across a spectrum of medical\u0000conditions.\u0000","PeriodicalId":11056,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine","volume":"46 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139608419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
