The US FDA has approved Lyfgenia, also known as lovotibeglogene autotemcel, which has shown positive results in treating sickle cell anemia.
How Lyfgenia Works:
Gene Modification: Lyfgenia uses a patient’s own blood stem cells, which are genetically modified to produce functional hemoglobin.
Infusion:The modified stem cells are infused back into the patient’s body, where they produce healthy red blood cells.
