Abstract
Twenty gene therapies have now been approved in the USA by the FDA, but their stratospheric price tag (often above one million USD per patient) makes them essentially unaffordable for most. A systematic study of the various steps involved in the development and manufacture of these therapies, undertaken (among others) by the Innovative Genomics Institute in California, shows that the cost could be reduced up to tenfold without major legislative changes, and offers hope for affordable genetic therapies.
期刊介绍:
m/s offers high-quality review articles in French, covering all areas of biomedical and health research, in a monthly magazine format (10 issues / year). m/s is read by the whole French-speaking community, in France but also in Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia etc. m/s is not a primary publication, and thus will not consider unpublished data. Most articles are invited by the Editors, but spontaneous proposals are welcomed. Each issue combines news and views on the most recent scientific publications, as well as broadly accessible and updated review articles on a specific topic, and essays on science and society, history of science, public health, or reactions to published articles. Each year, m/s also publishes one or two thematic issues focused on a research topic of high interest. All review articles and essays are peer-reviewed.
