Gorth Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Because genetics always interested me... https://www.bbc.com/news/health-63859184 A teenage girl's incurable cancer has been cleared from her body in the first use of a revolutionary new type of medicine. All other treatments for Alyssa's leukaemia had failed. So doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital used "base editing" to perform a feat of biological engineering to build her a new living drug. Six months later the cancer is undetectable, but Alyssa is still being monitored in case it comes back. ... They started with healthy T-cells that came from a donor and set about modifying them. The first base edit disabled the T-cells targeting mechanism so they would not assault Alyssa's body The second removed a chemical marking, called CD7, which is on all T-cells The third edit was an invisibility cloak that prevented the cells being killed by a chemotherapy drug The final stage of genetic modification instructed the T-cells to go hunting for anything with the CD7 marking on it so that it would destroy every T-cell in her body - including the cancerous ones. That's why this marking has to be removed from the therapy - otherwise it would just destroy itself. If the therapy works, Alyssa's immune system - including T-cells - will be rebuilt with the second bone-marrow transplant. ... It may have been a fluke, but maybe they're on to something. While Mama Merkel's billions swayed Biontech to change their line of mRNA research from cancer to covid, I do believe the "reliable" cure for cancer is through targeting the cells with a scalpel approach rather than the sledgehammer/tnt approach of chemo and radiation, trying to kill the patient as much as possible and hope the cancer cells dies before the patient. 1 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
