The gene therapy technique involves inserting a mutated version of the blood-clotting gene into a virus and delivering it to the patient’s body, often through an intravenous drip. But the treatment could be described as a one-hit wonder — if it stops working, scientists have not found a way to successfully administer the therapy a second time.

Global biotech company BioMarin ran a trial for patients with hemophilia A in which most patients reached normal levels of blood-clotting protein in their blood, reported The New York Times Tuesday. The levels dropped after a year but remained high enough to make a positive difference for patients for whom the therapy worked.

The recent utterly unsurprising utter capitulation by the Fredocons to the SJW/tech/media campaign to deplatform and silence any right-wing voice who is not trying to sell you a cruise cabin is a symptom of a bigger problem.

Since the old requirements of ebenbürtigkeit have fallen by the wayside, the princes of the world now have their pick of ‘trophy wives’ without the bother of having built up a fortune first.

Unsurprisingly, this candidate pool runs heavily to actresses (e.g. Duchess of Sussex) and models (e.g. Duchess of Värmland). Such people can be presumed to have adjusted to the 24/7 publicity machine that is one of the chief defects of the royal life. The primary constraints are finding candidates that aren’t tainted by the psychological problems for which actresses and models are famou, but princes usually have the best vetting systems available to them, so this ought not to be a problem.

I predict that Diana Spencer will be the last ‘blue blood’ to marry into the British royal family; such people no longer have the background for it.

For years, Miguel Ramalho-Santos tried to convince researchers in his lab to study a segment of DNA he personally thought was quite extraordinary: LINE1. It’s repeated half a million times in the human genome, making up nearly a fifth of the DNA in every cell. But nobody in his lab wanted to study it. “It was sort of a running joke in the lab,” says Ramalho-Santos, a developmental biologist at the University of California at San Francisco.

It might have had something to do with LINE1’s reputation. “People have called it junk DNA,” says Ramalho-Santos. “People have called it genomic parasites.” LINE1, like other transposons (or “jumping genes”), has the unusual ability to copy and insert itself in random places in the genome. Geneticists tend to pay attention when LINE1 inserts itself in a bad place, causing cancer or genetic disorders like hemophilia. But Ramalho-Santos suspected there was more to LINE1. If LINE1 were at best harmless and at worst harmful, why would it persist—and in such abundance—in the human genome?

Masked young people in Sweden have set fire to dozens of cars and thrown rocks at police, prompting the prime minister to ask: “What the heck are you doing?”

To quote Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes: ‘Is that a trick question?’

Conservatives have been saying for a long time that our porous southern border poses a security risk. Over the years there have been multiple news stories about Middle Easterners with terrorist connections being apprehended at the border, or after crossing the border. But because these crossings haven’t resulted in successful terrorist attacks, they have gotten essentially no notice.

Meanwhile, Democrats are committed to the view that there is no reason to want a secure border other than racism. This is pretty much insane–countries have wanted secure borders for centuries, and until now no one thought there was anything untoward about it–but it is the media narrative, and anything that contradicts the Democrats’ narrative will not be publicized.

I’d say they both are.

David French serves us a slice of cuck for his Crustian masters.

It’s easy to laugh at this weekend’s Unite the Right rally. It was pathetic. Media outnumbered white supremacists, and counterprotesters outnumbered the media. If that’s the alt-right in 2018, then public white supremacy in the United States is reverting back to its pre-2015 norm — when you could always find a couple dozen neo-Nazis to march somewhere, but you’d rarely see the kind of numbers we watched in Charlottesville. But as the alt-right fades (for now), let’s not forget its legacy. And let’s not turn our heads from its malignant influence. Consider what happened between 2015 and yesterday’s pitiful march.

Surely that straw-man is dead by now.

I’d be more impressed if I were confident that (a) French knows what ‘alt-right’ means, (b) could possibly understand what the alt-right was working toward, or (c) could express an original thought without reading it off of some Smugmobile bumper sticker.
