Cancer, it’s safe to say, really sucks. We’ve been at war with the disease for years, and every little breakthrough gets us closer to better ways to treat it. But just in the last couple of weeks, we’ve taken two major steps toward a future where every type of cancer has a cure. First, leukemia took a significant hit last week when the FDA approved the very first gene therapy available in the US. Gene therapy involves reprogramming cells to add new genes or fix ones that aren’t working the way they should. It has a ton of potential for treating genetic diseases, and researchers are also looking into ways to use it to target the genes and proteins involved in different types of cancers. Now we’re finally starting to turn that potential into reali...
