[Prospects for designing Russian gene engineering agents for medicine. Rastan is the first Russian recombinant human growth hormone].

The development of modern pharmacology cannot be imagined without the use of genetic engineering methods (recombinant DNA technology). The success of medicine is increasingly based on the active use of protein preparations obtained using the technology of transferring hereditary information (genes) from one organism to another. The emergence of the ability to express foreign genes in the cells of various organisms (both eukaryotes and prokaryotes) has become one of the revolutionary events in the science of the last two decades of the 20th century and laid the foundations of modern biotechnology.
