A child in the UK has been cured of cancer by modified DNA therapy.

Fantastic break through in medicine :old:

Stem cell research is finally having results

 Zack,

  they are working with elephant DNA,did you know elephants dont get cancer?   I sure didnt!!!

   Turns out they have some special DNA that carry genes to prevent cancer,we have 2 of these genes but elephants have something like 22 of the genes!

  Hopefully this will lead to a vaccine to prevent cancers!

 Of course in certain places stem cell research is frowned upon!

That's why they need those extra genes to keep the cancer away.

HOW SCIENTISTS MODIFIED DONOR CELLS TO MAKE THEM FIGHT CANCER


Layla Richards’ life was saved by blood cells that had been genetically modified to make them fight cancer.

Scientists made three changes to the cells, which came from a ‘random’ donor in the US.

First, they added genes that fight leukaemia, a cancer of white blood cells.

These genes made a protein that zeroed in on the cancer and killed the diseased cells.

Then, they used a cutting-edge technique called TALENs to switch off two genes.

Switching off the first gene ensured the donor’s cells wouldn’t be rejected by Layla’s body – or by anyone else given the treatment in future.

Turning off the second gene meant they weren’t wiped out by powerful drugs that were essential to her recovery.

In June, Layla was given an infusion of 50 million of the genetically-engineered cells.

Once in her body, they spent three months seeking out and killing the leukaemia.

In September, when cells had killed as much of the cancer as they could, Layla was given a bone marrow transplant.

The bone marrow is the body’s blood cell ‘factory’ and replacing faulty marrow with healthy stuff should mean only healthy cells are made from now on.

The GM cancer-fighting cells were killed during the transplant and so don’t live on in Layla’s body.

The treatment is so complex that it is likely to be used as a last resort, when conventional therapies have failed.

However, five to ten children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, the form of the disease Layla had, could benefit a year in the UK.

Dozens of children and adults with other leukaemias could also be helped.

And tweaking the donor cells in a different way could allow other cancers, including lung tumour to be targeted.

TALENs is one a wave of new ‘gene editing’ techniques that have caused huge excitement because they allow DNA to be accurately altered.

This is the first time that cells edited using TALENs have been given to a person and only the second time in the world any gene-edited cells have been used.

It is hoped the techniques can also be used to correct the genetic faults that cause diseases like cystic fibrosis and haemophilia.

However, there is concern that the technology could be misused to create designer babies, made to order by hair or eye colour.

Much more research is needed to prove that the leukaemia treatment is safe and effective.

If it is, the cells given to Layla could be an ‘off-the-shelf’ treatment for adults and children.

Initially, they will be reserved for those for whom nothing else works but biotech company Cellectis wants them to eventually available to almost any patient and inexpensive enough to be paid for by the NHS.

Weak,  genetic contaminated  fruits of sinful libertine modern society; we cant control our joystick and women won't hold their legs closed before marriage  :furious
 This genetic studies about microchimerism, over past years  ....blows my mind,  opens Pandora's box, and we just scratched the surface, get to some conclusions written in scriptures for 1000s of years;
The male DNA and Y chromosome  from any male sexual encounter is stored by women in brain , like a software written on her hard drive,by the time you marry her and insert your own CD, she may use it or not; :furious :(
From a male first born, mother absorbs some of  DNA , in the womb during pregnancy,and can pass it to next kids , making the the first born kind of ...father :noid ....for his younger brothers and sisters;

Maybe should welcome sharia law, look for a virgins :old: and grow our own organic food; or... grow our virgins and look for organic food :uhoh :lol

"This Study WIll Make You Think Twice About Who You Are Getting Into Bed With"

Scientists have discovered that a sizeable minority of women have Y-chromosome gene sequences in their blood. This is interesting because as you may know, Y-chromosomes are the chromosomes that belong to men, so ladies, what are they doing there, and where did they come from?

An obvious answer would be from pregnancy with a male son, since every woman who has been pregnant still carries cells from her fetus within her bloodstream. Cells from the pregnancy will reside within the mother’s bloodstream and organs for the rest of her life, even if the pregnancy was terminated or if there was a miscarriage. There is a name for this so-called condition, it is called microchimerism (1), which is named after the Greek chimera, a mythical, monstrous fire-breathing animal that is composed of the parts of three animals (a lion, a snake and a goat). So that explains things for women who have given birth to sons. But what about the women without sons that still carried male cells in their bloodstream?

The Study

This called for a study (2) that was done by immunologists at the Fred Hutchinson Caner Center in 2004. In the study, they took samples from 120 women who had never had sons. They found that 21% of these women had male DNA. The women were then categorized into 4 groups according to pregnancy history: Group A had only daughters, Group B had had one or more miscarriage(s), Group C had induced abortions, and Group D had never been pregnant before. The prevalence of male michrochimerism was considerably greater in Group C, although it was still present in each group: Group A 8%, Group B 22%, Group C 57%, and Group D 10%.

The conclusions of this study noted that the possible sources of male michrochimerism included known pregnancies, miscarriages, vanished male twins, or sexual intercourse. This means that through intercourse alone there is a potential for women to hold onto male genes and DNA within their organs and blood stream for their entire life!"

Telegony   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegony_(pregnancy)
"Telegony is a theory in heredity, holding that offspring can inherit the characteristics of a previous mate of the female parent; thus the child of a widowed or remarried woman might partake of traits of a previous husband. Previous experiments on several species failed to provide any evidence that offspring would inherit any character from their mother's previous mates,.[1] A similar phenomenon, whereby environmental (non-genetic) traits were passed, was later discovered in a species of fly.

Saving children from cancer is fantastic :old:

Well done the UK :old:

The internet is a great place for kak ghi and you know it :old:

So if a women sits on chair a blokes has sat on she might get his DNA :rofl

Stem cell research is awesome :old:

Dont you dare bring religion into this awesome medicine :old:
