Spherical nucleic acids 'dramatically' expand CRISPR delivery options Researchers at Northwestern University contend that by combining nanostructures called spherical nucleic acids with CRISPR-Cas9 systems, the types of cells and tissues that the gene-editing machinery can be delivered to may be "dramatically" expanded.Read More
RNA-based editing tool enables editing of specific cell types Duke University researchers have used an RNA-based editing tool to introduce proteins into specific types of cells, which they contend could potentially enable modifying very specific cells and cell functions to manage disease.Read More
