Here, Theodore Friedmann shows that this scientific revolution in medicine compares in importance to Copernicus's demonstration of the sun-centered order of the planetary system, the 18th and 19th century discoveries of the cellular structure of living systems, germ theory of disease, the invention of anaesthesia, and the discovery that genetic information is stored and transmitted by DNA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Origin and Development of Genetic Therapies\u003c\/em\u003e explores the origins and early developmental history of the medical field of gene therapy.
