Researchers correct cystic fibrosis using new CRISPR/Cas9 variant technique
Recently published research [1] provides new hope for a potential cure for the devastating cystic fibrosis disease. In the study, a research collaboration demonstrated how they corrected mutations that cause cystic fibrosis in cultured human stem cells using a CRISPR/Cas9 variant technique called prime editing to replace the ‘faulty’ piece of DNA with a healthy […]
