4 days ago · Genetic engineering has applications in medicine, research, industry and agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms. Bacteria, the first organisms to be genetically modified, can have plasmid DNA inserted containing new genes that code for medicines or enzymes that process food and other substrates.

1 day ago · Genetically modified cell therapies (GMCT) can cure cancer and rare diseases after a single treatment course. Immune effector cells (IEC) such as chimeric receptor antigen (CAR) T cells represent a new paradigm in cancer care whereby a single infusion of CAR T cells can lead to durable remissions in patients with multiply relapsed B-cell hematologic malignancies.1-7 This approach has enormous ...

1 day ago · Li et al. reported an interim analysis of a single-center, single-arm pilot trial evaluating a β-globin expression-optimized and insulator-engineered lentivirus-modified cell product in the most severe β-thalassemia (β0/β0). The therapy rebalanced β-globin and α-globin chains in patients who achieved transfusion independence for nearly 2 years without any notable adverse effects.
