With faster, cheaper, more precise technique, authors say it’s ‘off to the races’ toward new cell therapies. In an achievement that has significant implications for research, medicine, and industry, UC San Francisco scientists have genetically reprogrammed the human T cells without using viruses to insert DNA...
