"Advancing Targeted Gene Editing: CRISPR Delivery Breakthroughs"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Scientists have developed enveloped delivery vehicles (EDVs) that can transport CRISPR genome editing tools to specific cells for precise genome engineering within living organisms. These EDVs, created by Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna's lab, have the potential for widespread therapeutic use and were shown to successfully target and edit the genomes of human cells in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. The research establishes a programmable delivery method for genome editing and highlights the potential for targeted in vivo engineering of tissue-resident stem cells.
