“US researchers on Monday reported encouraging success with a new type of immune cell therapy that wiped out leukemia in a young girl by using her own modified T cells to fight the cancer.  The case study of Emily ‘Emma’ Whitehead, age 7, offers hope for a new path against a stubborn form of leukemia, known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), maybe even replacing the need for chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants someday.  An attempt at T cell reprogramming in another child who did not survive pointed to the need for more research to improve on the therapies being tested.”
