Doses of nanodiamond-PEI800 that were three times higher than that of the high-molecular weight PEI revealed a highly bio-compatible complex. Nanodiomaonds can also be used effectively in delivering therapeutic proteins
Gene therapy with the aid of nanodiamonds holds promise in treating a variety of diseases including cancer, and diabetes,heart disease and many other diseased, It can also aid the new anti aging gene therapy.

There are approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes, with a sequences of 3 billion chemical base pairs in our human DNA , To understand our molecular self scientists have read the 3 billion letter that making up the DNA is the human genome .Human genome sequencing stated on 1990 and it lasted for all 13 years to complete to sequence the 3 billion letters ( chemical base pairs ).

Human Genome is our blueprint, everything from our looks our personality, risk for diseases, ageing etc can be found inside the DNA, by decoding the Genome is a favourable way can change our self, human genome is just like a computer programme code, by debugging the code we can make an error free programme , like wise Human genome is not perfect, it may contain all kind of bugs like risk of caner, heart disease, our bad behaviour etc.

All our diseases have a genetic compound weather it is inherent decease or decease caused by environmental factors, human genome sequencing helped scientists to pin point the disease causing errors in genome. Genome sequencing will help to cure almost all diseases.
