Promising Results Shown for CRISPR CRISPR has shown promising results in preliminary clinical studies to correct sickle cell disease and treat blindness, transthyretin amyloidosis, and hereditary angioedema. A new study in collaboration with University College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children investigated the potential feasibility of base-edited CD7-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (BE-CAR7) T […]
CRISPR gene editing offers a potential alternative. A new study by Intellia Therapeutics aims to treat hereditary angioedema using CRISPR technology. Bradykinin is responsible for vascular permeability, where significant increases in bradykinin caused by stress, illness, or trauma leads to severe, painful, and life-threatening swelling. The molecular mechanisms that drive the angioedema seen in the […]
The CORD7 Mutation Found in Humans Increases Verbal IQ and Working Memory Intelligence in its rawest form is not equally distributed among the human population. While many can critically think and problem solve, others lack these skillsets. However, what is known is that just like height, eye color, and the shape of our nose, these […]
