It might be possible to effectively cure type 1 diabetes with insulin-producing cells gene-edited to evade the immune system 🧪
A few of the cells were implanted in a person for the first time in December and so far it's looking good

Gene-edited cells that evade rejection show promise in type 1 diabetes
Insulin-producing cells injected into a man with type 1 diabetes have survived for a month so far without the need for immune suppression

Just learned at the CZI imaging meeting that only 0.5% of brain research has been done in the female brain.
For anyone interested, I wrote this piece recently:

Brains, biases and amyloid beta: Why the female brain deserves a closer look in Alzheimer’s research
New results suggest the disease progresses differently in women, but we need more basic science to unpack the mechanisms involved.
