More on The Leukemia Study

This is almost 2 weeks old now, but I had to delay posting it while I expressed my anger at ABC News. I don't think the delay hurts it any, since it discusses something that I rought up over a month ago, anyway.

It's from the New York Times Health section, and it's called "An Immune System Trained to Kill Cancer." It's basically an extended explanation of the small study that caused such a big stir recently, where three leukemia patients had their own T cells manipulated to fight off their cancers.

It's worth a read. More detail about the patients, more explanation on how it worked, and more reason for thinking this could be something really special.
