Summary:
Doctors are performing a different kind of surgery to save patients with maladies ranging from HIV to cancer. They're using molecular scalpels to slice genes.
This gene editing helped push a 1-year-old girl's leukemia into remission, doctors at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London announced November 5 at a news briefing. Baby Layla's medical team treated her with immune cells altered by one type of the molecular surgical instruments called TALENs. It's the first time TALENs have been successfully used to treat a person.
