FDA approves cure for sickle cell disease, the first treatment to use CRISPR
 

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved a powerful treatment for sickle cell disease, a devastating illness that affects more than 100,000 Americans, the majority of whom are Black.

The therapy, called Casgevy, from Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, is the first medicine to be approved in the United States that uses the gene-editing tool CRISPR, which won its inventors the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2020.

wait and see

Good luck with that.

It's about time!! I have been following CRISPR for years - it's the highest medical-technology there is, and its freaking facinating.

Pair CRISPR with AI and you can cure... death!

Yeah, we've been waiting a long time for this.

I wonder how soon it will be before you can go to a clinic and have something simple changed, like eye color, with a few shots of CRISPR?

That is naive (with all due respect) . . .

Anything with "CRISPR" in the name is translated: you can't afford it :2 cents:

Or create death itself. What could possibly go wrong with a crispr and ai cooperative
