This article discusses research started in the 90's concerning the application of gene therapy in a wide range of ailments; Cancer, Leukemia, HIV... The article is quite promising. Albeit, at this time, it doesn't provide an outright cure, it does bring more hope & direction.
It showed progress in fighting these illnesses. Again, they did so by introducing something that would strengthen the body & not weaken it. This assists the body's own systems & defenses. The T-Cells are modified, but still part of the person's natural immune response, unlike other medications, chemo or radiation.
I know it's strange to say that studies started in the 1990's are still in development, but this type of research takes time, diligence & access. Doing medical research is not only costly, it is also filled with monumental levels of red-tape. Still, here's to designer T-Cells & what good they yet do.
Cya...
