something i read and found interestinG...and famiLiar:)
Researchers are very optimistic a new gene therapy technique has rewritten the DNA of bone marrow cells in two youngsters -- called bubble children because they are forced to live in sterile environments due to severely weakened immune systems.
Italian researchers from the San Raffaele-Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy say the new treatment offers these children the promise of a more normal life. The children -- one 7 months and the other 2 1/2 -- suffer from a rare severe immunodeficiency disorder that usually confines patients to sterile environments to protect them from infections.
The disease prevents its victims from producing an enzyme known as ADA, critical for making infection-fighting agents. There are a couple of treatments -- injections of bovine ADA and bone marrow transplants -- but bovine ADA is expensive and bone marrow donations are not always available and can be toxic.
Gene therapy uses modified viruses to rewrite the DNA of cells to replace defective genes with healthy ones. The researchers removed some bone marrow from the two children and isolated the blood stem cells. They used a harmless virus to infect the blood stem cells with a healthy version of the ADA gene. The findings are in Friday's edition of the journal Science.
cool rightz?
btw, the variety of people sitting on bus 238 getting larger and larger... remember the last time i saw this female with a cool hairstyle? today i saw two people with the beckham fin:) hahahaha... on the saMe bus! and i saw three people chatting about footbalL, another femaLe with a male image... and this girl who looks like she should be at orchard instead of on a bus. oh welLz:)
