Logistics in Focus: Orchestrating the Challenges of Cell Therapy

Conversations in Drug Development Trends

For example, once considered incurable and terminal, patients with sickle cell disease may reach new summits in their lives with gene editing technologies such as CRISPR to repair affected DNA and, in some cases, functionally cure the condition. These advanced therapeutics harness the power of molecular biology to improve human health.

A surprising new role for a major immune regulator

Broad Institute

STING is primarily on the lookout for DNA, which can indicate either a foreign invader such as a virus or damage to the host tissue or cell. Drugs that activate STING have been developed and tested in clinical trials as cancer immunotherapy drugs that would help stimulate the immune system to destroy tumors.
