A new gene-editing technique could help treat sickle cell anemia
The Verge These unhealthy blood cells can lead to pain and weakness and damage the organs. A type of bone marrow transplant can treat the disease. First, the patient’s immune system is suppressed. Then, stem blood cells found in the marrow are destroyed and … With CRISPR, scientists correct genetic mutation that causes sickle cell diseaseLos Angeles Times Genome engineering paves way for sickle cell cureUC Berkeley CRISPR deployed to combat sickle-cell anaemiaNature.com |

Real-time, observable MRI delivery updated to improve stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s
Medical Xpress Induced pluripotent stem cells, a type of stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells, offer great benefits for regenerative medicine as they propagate indefinitely and can differentiate into a variety of cell types, such as neurons … |
