Prime editing is a new genome editing technology that promises to fix sickle cell disease-causing mutations in a curative approach. Discover more about this tech, a collaboration of St. Jude and @broadinstitute. https://t.co/l2vyqXQbn2 @natBME@JonathanYenPhD@davidrliu
Scientists at St. Jude and @broadinstitute showed how prime editing can correct the mutation that causes sickle cell disease in a potentially curative approach. Read the @natBME paper. https://t.co/ajzj5vVrCV @JonathanYenPhD@davidrliu
Today we report in @natBME ex vivo prime editing of blood stem cells from sickle cell disease (SCD) patients, followed by transplantation into mice, correcting the SCD mutation to wild-type hemoglobin and rescuing SCD blood abnormalities.

@SpoiledRotten61@pamdutton@IDOT_Illinois Thank you so much! It is moving now! We did let our girls out for a little walk and thankfully they just mainly napped. My bladder, though… she was the needy one 😂 thanks again! Stay safe!
@IDOT_Illinois Thanks. If we could just get a trooper to send us in a U-turn or something, anything, my bladder would appreciate it. 😂 but I understand that these things take time and patience. Thank you for what you do!
@pamdutton@IDOT_Illinois Our girls are riding well also, just getting a little crazy (but I’m sure they’re feeding off of me). We still have a 7ish hour drive ahead of us, so I feel your pain! Best wishes!
@pamdutton@IDOT_Illinois So very sad! I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for the information. We are stuck in the closure as well. I wish they could reroute those of us who are stuck here! We’ve got our 2 dogs with us and are all going stir crazy.
When your hometown shares her birthday with your favorite football player @Edelman11 ... notice that @Patriots lanyard ❤️💙
Happy (belated) Birthday to Memphis, TN and Super Bowl LIII MVP!
