Aaron Rodriguez+FollowLouisiana’s first shot at a sickle cell cureA 22-year-old in Louisiana is on the verge of making history as the state’s first person to try a groundbreaking gene-editing treatment for sickle cell disease. If all goes well, Daniel Cressy could finally chase his dream of becoming a pilot—a goal that’s been out of reach because of the risks sickle cell poses at high altitudes. His journey involves sending his own stem cells to Scotland for gene editing, then having them reintroduced to his body. The process is long, expensive, and filled with hope. Imagine what this could mean for thousands living with sickle cell in Louisiana and beyond. What would a real cure change for families here? #Health #BodyHealth #Louisiana6065Share
