In the first study published regarding human germline engineering, the researchers attempted to edit the HBB gene which codes for the human β-globin protein. HBB mutations produce β-thalassaemia, which can be fatal. [7] Genome editing in patients who have these HBB mutations would leave copies of the unmutated gene, effectively curing the ...
With the discovery of various types of immune-related disorders, there is a need for diversification in prevention and treatment. Developments in the field of gene therapy are being studied to be included in the scope of this treatment, but of course more research is needed to increase the positive results and minimize the negative effects of gene therapy applications.

Many of the most innovative treatments for oral herpes, however, are still in the early stages and being tested on animals. One novel approach, says Leib, is gene therapy to essentially edit out ...
Make People Better is a 2022 documentary film about the use of genetic engineering (called CRISPR gene editing) to enhance two twins girls to be immune to HIV.Directed by Cody Sheehy of Rhumbline Media, it was originated by Samira Kiani, a biotechnologist then at Arizona State University. [1]
The independent committee is helping the FDA think through how it should evaluate a treatment called exa-cel that could potentially cure people of sickle cell disease, a painful and deadly disease ...

In July 2018, the ECJ ruled that gene editing for plants was a sub-category of GMO foods and therefore that the CRISPR technique would henceforth be regulated in the European Union by their rules and regulations for GMOs. [37] In February 2020, a US trial showed safe CRISPR gene editing on three cancer patients. [38]
A breakthrough treatment for sickle cell patients could soon become the first gene-editing treatment to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an ...
