"Enhanced Gene Editing Restores Vision in Mice Using Virus-Like Particles"

Scientists at MIT and Harvard have developed a more effective method for gene editing using tiny, virus-like particles to carry prime editors into mouse cells, achieving a 170-fold improvement in the editing process. In tests on mice with genetic eye problems, they successfully corrected the mistakes and partially restored their vision, indicating a promising treatment for genetic disorders in living animals without unintended changes in the brain.
