In a proof of principle, a novel approach using the CRISPR methodology to immunotherapy has been developed and proved efficient in pre-clinical trials. It has the advantage that is applicable to a wide range of blood cancer types. If confirmed in clinical experiments, the approach could be a new therapy again leukaemia.

⚕️ Revolutionary Breakthrough for Slowing Down #leukaemia

Researchers from the #Luxembourg Institute of Health revealed the ground-breaking #therapeutic potential of the compound FL3 in inhibiting oncogene translation and rewiring #cancer cell metabolism, opening up new therapeutic opportunities for leukaemia patients.

Million pound appeal for 20-month-old Hallie (😘❤️) who has #leukaemia

📌 An appeal for a million pounds has been launched to pay for a rare form of leukaemia (known as JMML*) treatment for a 20-month-old girl, Hallie, from Coventry, diagnosed when she was eight months old.

[NDR: *Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia]

📌… the latest transplant had not worked and a consultant at the Birmingham hospital suggested their only remaining option was CAR T-cell therapy

A day of doing very little today. Mum tested positive for #COVID on Monday, and she’s “clinically extremely vulnerable” due to her comorbidities - primarily #leukaemia, but others too - and they’ve offered her #antivirals as a result, which she’s declined. So today I’ve mainly been worrying about her. Distracting myself with #Luther, although not very well.

I have a number of things on my mind at the moment. I’m not sleeping well. I can’t quiet my brain.

Day 150 post BMT and I'm still alive! Sure life is a PITA, stuck in hospital twice a week and seemingly endless appointments pills and transfusions but whatever. My odds were poor and I've beaten them! Woo!

My son contracted #leukaemia at eight months old. Thanks to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, he survived. Partnerships with the likes of Premier Inn are so important for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. #charity
