The Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London has preformed the world's first base editing treatment for a 13-year-old patient's once "incurable" T-cell leukemia to rid her body of cancer. #cancer #geneediting #baseediting #cancertreatment #Leukemia #CGTNAmerica
Invented six years ago, base editing uses the four bases of the building blocks of the human genetic code: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). #cancer #geneediting #baseediting #newcancertreatment #cancertreatment #Leukemia #CGTNAmerica
Scientists alter the structure of a base, converting it to another and changing the genetic instructions. The hospital used this technology to edit and create a new type of T-cell that finds and destroys T-cells, including leukemic T-cells. #geneediting #baseediting #Leukemia

"And the hits just keep on coming: Sex-specific effects of multiple stressor exposures on cognition"
Starting with @SEcksDifference setting us up well on the importance of early life stressor, working on limited bedding and nesting altering maternal care #Sfn2019
@SEcksDifference Limited bedding and nesting negly impacted maternal care, including affecting body weight throughout life, and gonadal hormones (elevating testosterone in males, estradiol in females. Interestingly an enriched environment there is also less time spent in nest building! #sfn2019
@SEcksDifference .@SEcksDifference showing the LBN model didn't affect vaginal opening or estrus cycle duration though, so unclear where effects on sex arise! Interestingly, prelim data shows that LBN enhanced male sex behavior, e.g., mounts less intromissions, and shorter latencies #sfn2019
