Gene therapy could ‘turn off’ severe allergies
Medical Xpress “We have now been able ‘wipe’ the memory of these T-cells in animals with gene therapy, de-sensitising the immune system so that it tolerates the protein. “Our work used an experimental asthma allergen, but this research could be applied to treat those … Allergy treatment: Scientists claim breakthrough that could lead to cure for all intolerancesThe Independent |

CRISPR study reporting ‘off-target mutations’ draws skepticism from other researchers
Genetic Literacy Project A central promise of CRISPR-based gene editing is its ability to pinpoint particular genes. But if this technology produces dangerous side effects by creating unexpected and unwanted mutations across the genome, that could hamper or even derail many of … |

Protein Essential for Normal Mammary Stem Cell Function Identified
Technology Networks When a stem cell differentiates, it starts down a one-way path that will result in its specialization and eventually its death. For instance, a stem cell in the breast can become a luminal cell, one of the breast’s “milk factories.” Such cells have a … |

How CAR–T Therapy Has Helped One Woman Survive and Thrive, Despite Cancer
U.S. News & World Report Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies, or CAR–T cells, are created using a patient’s own immune cells, genetically engineering them and giving them back to the patient to fight their cancer – a living medicine made from my own cells. My experience … |
