Very nice explanation of
How the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA Vaccine Works?
Definitely worth a read for those wanting to understand better, and a share for those who'd like to educate their friends, family and colleagues better!

Gene Editing Shows Promise in Sickle-Cell Disease. Drug development for sickle-cell disease, largely overlooked for decades. Data published in the New England Journal of Medicine report promising results from studies of experimental therapies (1/2).

Best example is mRNA1273  LNP-encapsulated mRNA-based vaccine forCOVID19. Furthermore recently shown that light-sensitive LNP delivery offers precise gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9.Disruption of gene expression in-vivo using non-viral approaches opens new avenues for gene editing.

[Sameer (Farhatullah Syed) @Sameer_Syed786]

Numerous ways for gene editing for precision medicine, such as use of viral vectors. However, use of viral vectors has some serious concerns.
Lipid nanoparticles are clinically approved non-viral nucleic acid delivery systems.

This is our 3 years of hard work to produce Ultra-pure Off-The-Shelf CAR T Cells for CD19. So happy to see finally bench to clinic. This is just the beginning, I am more excited for the upcoming Off-The-Shelf CAR T cells for AML (CARAML) using Base Editing.https://t.co/TmznzqyRDw
