Erythrocytes a.k.a. Red Blood Cells help us transport oxygen throughout the body. But what happens when they don’t work the way they should? Let's find out.

FDA Approves First CRISPR Gene Editing Treatment

A new gene-editing treatment is offering new hope for people living with the blood disorders sickle cell disease and thalassemia. Approved in Britain, there is hope the breakthrough treatment may soon come to Canada.

Britain's medicines regulator has authorized the world's first gene therapy treatment for two blood disorders — sickle cell and thalassemia. Casgevy is the first medicine licensed using the gene-editing tool CRISPR, which won its makers...

Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration are meeting to review a gene therapy technique called CRISPR to treat sickle cell disease.

The Food and Drug Administration says there’s an unmet need for help for patients suffering from severe sickle cell anemia. A new drug that uses gene editing could solve that.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved two gene-editing treatments for patients 12 and older suffering from severe sickle cell disease, but they come with health risks doctors want patients to know about.
