Gene-edited immune cells show promise against advanced GI 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.

New gene-editing therapy shows early success in fighting advanced GI cancers

Researchers 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 show encouraging signs of safety and potential effectiveness of the treatment.

Scientists identify strategy to boost mitochondrial function, improve immunotherapy treatment - Austin Daily Herald

Despite the massive successes of immunotherapy, which utilizes the body’s immune system as a tool to fight cancer, therapy resistance is still a common treatment obstacle for many patients with solid tumors. With a new paper in the leading scientific journal Cell Metabolism, the lab of Vivek Verma, PhD, assistant professor at The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota, outlines a pharmacological method to boost mitochondrial function in cells…
