Such spectacular advances in genetic treatment deserve lots of coverage--they give hope.

OMG SHIT

Sorry not job. hiv related.

The new cells are job related, or so local news in Columbus Oh reported.

My father was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia just this Tuesday (he's only in his early fifties), so this is relevant to me. I hope things develop quickly! But I'll try not to get false hopes.

I'm glad you found the article relevant. I too hope that this becomes a viable treatment. Best wishes to you and your father.
