The mechanism of this treatment is incredible. Basically destroying your marrow and replacing it with a genetically repaired version.
Marrow transplants aren’t new, but the genetic modification of stem cells to create new marrow is massive. This could have wide-ranging treatment implications for a variety of diseases. Cancer, auto-immune disease, transplant rejection, and practically any blood-borne viral disease.
Oh wow, so we’re finally getting there with genetically modifying and replicating internal organs in medicine?
That is, indeed, amazing news
Not modifying organs, but if you can modify the immune system by editing marrow genes, you could eliminate sensitivities to foreign MHC antigens.
