In a Phase 1, first-in-human study, the experimental CRISPR-Cas9 treatment CTX310 safely reduced LDL cholesterol and triglycerides after a single infusion. By turning off the ANGPTL3 gene in the liver, researchers achieved lasting lipid reductions in patients with hard-to-treat disorders. The findings—presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025 and published in the New England Journal of Medicine—highlight a major step forward in precision cardiovascular medicine.

A team from JAIST, in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo and the University of Tsukuba, has created a revolutionary dual-bacteria treatment—called AUN—that eliminates tumors even in patients with weakened immune systems. By pairing Proteus mirabilis and Rhodopseudomonas palustris, this therapy offers a safer, immune-independent approach to cancer treatment with minimal side effects.
