Tuesday’s move pushed back a program focused on turning a patient’s own immune cells into cancer-killing assassins or curing blood disorders such as sickle cell with just an IV infusion. Known as in vivo reprogramming, it was originally the company’s central focus and would have amounted to a monumental breakthrough.
