For patients with severe Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type I (LAD-I), treatment options have been limited. A new gene therapy may offer hope through the FDA’s accelerated approval pathway. fda.gov/news-events/press-an…

A new study in @NEJM reports that an investigational gene therapy restored immune function in 9 children with LAD-I, a rare & life-threatening immune disorder. Those children are now living symptom-free 2 years after treatment in clinical trials co-led by @Kohn_Lab @UCLA.

I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities! Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance. All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal, I hope that being here means that it has come true for you! You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you! - Celine xx… Photo: Laura Gilli
