Cell and gene therapies (CGTs) have made significant advancements in treating oncological diseases, with therapies like CAR-T cell treatments transforming cancer care. By correcting these mutations, gene-modifying and editing therapies hold the promise of long-term, potentially curative treatments.

The p53 protein protects our cells from cancer and is an interesting target for cancer treatments. The problem is, however, that it breaks down rapidly in the cell. By adding a spider silk protein to p53, they show that it is possible to create a protein that is more stable and capable of killing cancer cells.

The general notion is that patients should be viewed individually, rather than strictly as members of some larger general population, and that their specific genetic background, environment, and lifestyle choices should be considered throughout drug development to the point of treatment and continuing patient care.
