Gene-editing therapy shows early success in fighting advanced gastrointestinal cancers Researchers at the University of Minnesota have completed a first-in-human clinical trial testing a CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technique to help the immune system fight advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The results, recently published in The Lancet Oncology, show encouraging signs of the safety and potential effectiveness of the treatment. "Despite many advances in understanding the genomic drivers and other [...]
