The first person in the world to receive a pioneering genetic therapy has had her cancer reversed, say Great Ormond Street doctors.
One-year-old Layla Richards, from London, had incurable aggressive leukaemia only five months ago.
Doctors used "designer immune cells" to fight the cancer and say her improvement was "almost a miracle".
It is too soon to know if she has been cured, but her progress already marks a huge moment for the field.
Layla was three months old when she was diagnosed with the condition.
As often happens with very young babies, chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant failed to cure her.
