Retroviruses are an effective tool for transferring genomes in the cells, and they allow to create the brand new organisms and give the extremely large scale genome therapies in a very easy way. The idea of that kind of genome therapies is that the work is done in the laboratory. And the transferring the genome would happen by giving it with injection or by nose spray, what makes possible that even the person, who has no training can give those viruses for patients. The giving this kind of genome transfer is like giving the normal vaccine. In real life, that kind of genome medicals or vaccines can be delivered by air by using sprinkler systems, and that allows to give cure for a large number of people in the very short time period.
How to use retroviruses in the genome therapy and how that organism can improve the medical operations in the case of accidents? Retroviruses can transform organism or cell the another. And this ability makes possible to use those viruses in the biotechnology. One of the possible purposes to use genetically modified retroviruses, what bases in the synthetic DNA or RNA would be useful in the cases, where the large scale of tissues must be produced in the very short period.
Those cases are fire and another kind of accidents, where the large group of people would get very large injuries, and the production of the large scale of transparent cells must be done would the retroviruses use to modify the tissues of the animals like pigs, to create the cells, what fits the injured persons body. In fact, there is possible to make the genetically manipulated pig, what can use to grow organs as the spare parts of the people, who have cardiac diseases or lung cancer or their organs have been destroyed by some other reasons.
In those cases, the retroviruses would transfer the genomes of the fetus of the pig, as it would be transplanted to the people. The mitochondria transfer, where the mitochondria are transferred in the human body, by using retroviruses, what would make the human body to begin the creation of mitochondria, are existed. I don't actually know are those persons use only the mitochondria, what can be injected into the human, or are they using retroviruses to transfer the cells that way, the mitochondria would start to create in it. The mitochondria are a very interesting part of the cell. Their mission is to create the energy for the cells, and they work like the small fuel cells.
The mitochondria have the own DNA and they are actually parasites, what have the symbiotic relationship with cells, what offer them the food and protection. And mitochondria offers the energy for those cells, where they are living. So if the scientists will transfer mitochondria to the body of the human, that would actually work in the same way as the retroviruses, what transfer the genome, what allows the cell to produce new wealthy mitochondria. There have been ideas to use this technology as the "doping", what allows to create cells, where are more mitochondria, than normal cells. That thing would allow creating muscle-cells, what is stronger than normal muscle cells. Maybe this thing is real in the future, and it would cause need to create more doping tests for use in the Olympic games.
