Genetic Engineering Will Change Everything Forever – CRISPR
A heartening story about how CRISPR is being used to develop citrus trees resistant to huanglongbing (HLB, also known as citrus greening), carried by the the Asian citrus psyllid.
In 20 years, the disease reduced citrus production in Florida by more than 60%: infected trees can die in as few as 5 years.
If all goes well, in 2027 resistant trees may be planted in commercial orchards.

December 2023
"Researchers are closing in on ways to produce CAR T cells in the body, raising hopes that the notoriously expensive and bespoke cancer therapies might one day become more accessible.
In CAR-T treatment, immune cells called T cells are removed from the person receiving treatment, engineered to target cancer cells and reintroduced to their body. The process has yielded dramatic recoveries from advanced forms of some blood cancers, but its high price and technical difficulty have placed it out of reach for many people.
Results presented at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting in San Diego, California on 11 December suggest that people undergoing treatment might eventually just get an injection of a virus that infects T cells. The virus would then insert the genes needed to guide the T cells to tumour cells."
June 2025:
"Some biotechnology companies have an answer: alter T cells inside the body instead. Treatments that deliver a gene for the CAR protein to cells in the blood could be mass produced and available on demand — theoretically, at a much lower price than current CAR-T therapies. A single dose of commercial CAR-T therapy costs around $500,000. A vial of in vivo treatment might cost an order of magnitude less.
The idea has some high-profile proponents. The founders of Capstan Therapeutics, a company in San Diego, California, that is focused exclusively on in vivo cell therapies, include CAR-T pioneers Levine and Carl June, as well as Drew Weissman, who won a Nobel prize for his work on messenger RNA vaccines. CRISPR–Cas9 pioneer and Nobel prizewinner Jennifer Doudna has co-founded a separate company, Azalea Therapeutics in Berkeley, California, that is developing in vivo CAR T. And big pharma is taking notice. In March, the biopharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca agreed to pay up to $1 billion for the Belgium-based in vivo CAR-T company EsoBiotec, which launched its first human trial of an in vivo CAR-T therapy in January."
