Michelle Welch+FollowCRISPR Just Deleted a Whole Chromosome?!Scientists in Japan just used CRISPR to snip out the extra chromosome that causes Down syndrome in lab-grown cells—and the results are wild. The edited cells started acting more like typical ones, with better growth and less stress. They even tried it on mature skin cells, not just stem cells! It’s not ready for the clinic yet, but this could totally change how we think about treating genetic conditions. Imagine actually fixing the root cause, not just the symptoms! #CRISPR #DownSyndrome #GeneEditing #Health #BodyHealth2611Share
Michelle Welch+FollowScientists May Have Found a Way to Stop Cancer SpreadBig news in cancer research: scientists just used CRISPR to ID a protein (ACBP) that helps cancer spread to bones—and found drugs that could block it! In mouse studies, targeting ACBP stopped bone metastasis cold. This could mean real hope for stopping those painful, hard-to-treat bone tumors. The research is still early, but it’s a huge step toward new treatments that go beyond just managing symptoms. Imagine a future where bone metastasis isn’t a given! #CancerResearch #CRISPR #BoneMetastasis #MedicalBreakthrough #ScienceNews #Health49354Share
rachel60+FollowBaby’s Life Saved by Custom Gene TherapyA baby born with a super rare, deadly disorder just became the first person ever to get a one-of-a-kind, personalized gene therapy—and it’s working! KJ Muldoon was facing a future of strict diets, risky transplants, and scary odds, but thanks to a CRISPR-based treatment made just for him, he’s now thriving and hitting milestones. Even when he got sick (which usually means disaster for kids like him), he bounced back like a champ. This could totally change the game for rare diseases! #GeneTherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #CRISPR #RareDisease #ScienceNews #Health190Share
Mr. Roy Ewing II+FollowGene Editing Just Saved This Baby’s LifeA one-in-a-million baby, KJ Muldoon, was born with a rare genetic disorder that could’ve been deadly. But thanks to a custom CRISPR gene editing treatment made just for him, he’s now thriving! Instead of a risky liver transplant, doctors used a new “base editing” technique to fix his DNA. He’s hitting milestones his family never thought possible. It’s early days, but this could totally change the game for rare diseases! #GeneEditing #CRISPR #MedicalBreakthrough #RareDisease #ScienceNews #Health891Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowGene Editing Just Saved a Baby’s LifeA baby with a super rare genetic disease is now thriving thanks to a custom-made gene editing treatment. Doctors used a next-level CRISPR technique to literally fix his DNA—no liver transplant needed! This is one of the first times gene editing has been used like this, and scientists are saying it could be a game-changer for millions with rare diseases. The tech is still new, but this could be the start of something huge for personalized medicine. #GeneEditing #CRISPR #MedicalBreakthrough #RareDiseases #ScienceNews #Health120Share
john24+FollowCRISPR T-Cells Just Scored a Win!Scientists just used CRISPR to edit immune cells (TILs) for the first time in people with tough-to-treat GI cancers—and it’s actually working! One patient with advanced colorectal cancer has been cancer-free for over 21 months. This could be a game-changer for folks who don’t respond to regular immunotherapy. The future of cancer treatment is getting wild! #CRISPR #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #ScienceNews #Health150Share
Kristi Key+FollowCRISPR T Cells Take on Tough CancerMetastatic colorectal cancer just got a new challenger: CRISPR-edited T cells! At AACR25, Emil Lou showed off early data where they used CRISPR to target the CISH checkpoint in patients who didn’t respond to other treatments. It’s wild to see gene editing moving from the lab to real people, and it could mean hope for folks with stubborn cancers. Science is seriously leveling up! #CRISPR #CancerResearch #ColorectalCancer #AACR25 #Immunotherapy #Health230Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowAlzheimer’s Breakthrough: Brain Cells Reprogrammed!Scientists just pulled off something wild: they reprogrammed brain immune cells to hunt down and clear out the toxic junk that causes Alzheimer’s—in mice, at least. These lab-grown microglia not only cleaned up the mess but actually restored memory and brain function! The secret? CRISPR-edited cells that only activate when they find trouble, so healthy brain parts stay safe. Human trials are a few years away, but this could totally change how we fight brain diseases. Imagine reversing Alzheimer’s instead of just slowing it down! #Alzheimers #BrainHealth #ScienceNews #MedicalBreakthrough #CRISPR #Health1017Share
