Hello folks ! I'm Alexandria and today we're going to review in gene therapy. First off , for those of you who don't know gene therapy is a treatment of a disease caused by malfunction of a gene , by stably transferring the cells of the organism with the normal gene . So basically gene therapy is used to prevent disease. The technique was created in 1972 but hasn't had much success or impact in treating or preventing disease . The process of gene therapy is simple.
Researchers use a virus to carry new genes or genetic cargo into the cells. The viruses are modified so it wouldn't hurt the patients. On August 10,2011 , Dr. Carl June discovered that gene therapy had success against leukemia . In a study, according to an article written by Marilynn Marchione, All five adults and 19 of 22 children with one type of leukemia had a complete remission, meaning no cancer could be detected after the treatment . Well it's looks like gene therapy can be good after all , that's all I have for you folks see you tomorrow .

Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
