A team at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT has developed a genome editing method that could, in principle, correct 90% of the roughly 75,000 currently known genomic changes that are associated with genetic diseases.
Researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania have developed an algorithm to better personalize immunotherapy treatment. The algorithm works by examining neoantigen quality, not just their quantity. Neoantigens are proteins that are the result of genetic mutations in a tumor.

Australian researchers have developed the first potent new small-molecule inhibitors capable of blocking the activation of apoptotic cell death before it causes damage to mitochondria, they reported in a study published in the Oct. 7, 2019, issue of Nature Chemical Biology.
PERTH, Australia – Following stunning interim clinical results for its Celgro nerve regeneration treatment in quadriplegic patients, regenerative medicine company Orthocell Ltd. will focus all its efforts on gaining quick U.S. FDA approval based on the early results.
LONDON – A paper that raised concerns for the future health of Lulu and Nana, the world's first gene-edited babies, has been fully retracted at the request of the authors, after they failed to identify a problem in data from the U.K. Biobank on which their analysis was based. The study published in Nature Medicine in June, concluded the edits the twin girls are purported to have in their CCR5 chemokine receptor gene is associated with a 21% increase in mortality in middle and old age.
