Clinical trials were halted after the treatment’s vector that ferries in the healthy genetic sequence was identified in the genome of a patient’s cancer cells.

Infusions of donor T cells to fight the cancer often fail, but sodium bicarbonate can counter lactic acid produced by leukemia cells, potentially improving remission rates in mice and humans.

Targeting the transient group of cells could prevent recurrence of the disease.

High-dose vitamin C injections reverse the effects of a leukemia-promoting genetic deficiency.

Investigational drug that inhibits proteins involved with epigenetic regulation shows activity against certain blood cancers in an early-stage clinical trial.

Telomeres have been linked to numerous diseases over the years, but how exactly short telomeres cause diseases and how medicine can prevent telomere erosion are still up for debate.

Elaine Mardis can make DNA sequencers sing, generating genome data that shed light on evolution and disease.

MicroRNAs may drive the development of leukemia.
