Gimme Shelter: CRISPR Hides Healthy Cells From Leukemia Drug

In mouse study, gene-edited cells stay safe as immunotherapy attacks cancer
When CC-486 (purple dots) inserts into the DNA of cancer cells (blue/green), it prevents the DNA from getting modified with chemicals called methyl groups (red/orange circles). This may help reactivate certain genes and help kill the cancer cells.

Maintenance Therapy With CC-486 Extends Survival of Adults With AML

The drug may represent a “fundamental building block for new combinations that will hopefully have transformative potential.”

Try, Try Again: Can a Second Dose of CAR-T Cells Succeed When the First Fails?
