FDA Greenlights Gene Therapy, Because Patience Isn’t a Drug

In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, the FDA announced it’s 'clearing the way' for Sarepta Therapeutics to resume shipments of their gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy to some patients. Yes, just some, because apparently miracles come with fine print. The FDA’s official line? They’re 'clearing the way,' which sounds a bit like popping open a space in traffic, except this lane could save lives. Gene therapy shipments resumed, but if you were hoping for a full-on party, well, it’s more of a dignified nod: progress served with a side of bureaucratic seasoning.
