Scientists at Georgia State University used CRISPR to restore an ancient enzyme called uricase in human liver cells, which significantly reduced uric acid levels and prevented fat buildup, offering a promising new approach to treat gout and related metabolic diseases.
Scientists have used CRISPR to revive a 20-million-year-old gene called uricase, which could help reduce uric acid levels and treat gout, as well as other related diseases, by reactivating a gene lost in humans millions of years ago.
Researchers have used CRISPR to restore a lost ancient gene in human cells that produces uricase, an enzyme that breaks down uric acid, potentially offering a new, safer treatment for gout by reducing uric acid levels through gene therapy, though it is still in early research stages.
