those that modify the expression of an individual’s genes or repair abnormal genes) has entered clinical practice, including 11 RNA therapeutics, 2 in vivo gene therapies, and 2 gene-modified cell therapies. Almost two decades after the human genome was sequenced, a trickle of new genetic medicines (i.e.,

An expected and well-known side effect of these B cell-targeted therapies is “B cell aplasia”— i.e. partial or complete depletion of B cells from circulation and immune organs. Lymphocytes have an extraordinary capacity to proliferate in response to immune stimulation. In these cases B cell depletion is a feature, not a bug.

The Booming Potential of mRNA Technology

Roots Analysis

Vaccinations in the past have always been either weak or inactive forms of a pathogen which was given to the body so that our immune system is trained to recognize that given pathogen. The immune system will then recognize it as foreign and learn how to fight it.
