2017年4月4日 · CRISPR-Cas systems provide protection against viral 1 and plasmid 2 infection by capturing short DNA sequences from these invaders and integrating them into the CRISPR locus of the prokaryotic host 1.
A 'significant moment': Doctors inject CRISPR into a living patient
2020年3月6日 · Researchers at the Casey Eye Institute at Oregon Health & Science University on Wednesday announced that scientists for the first time used the gene-editing tool CRISPR to edit DNA inside a patient's body, as part of an effort to restore vision to a patient who lost it due to a genetic disorder.
CRISPR Gene-Editing Technology Enters the Body — and Space
2022年1月4日 · They accomplished this by injecting the CRISPR gene editor — encased in a lipid nanoparticle carrying a piece of RNA to serve as a guide to the TTR gene — into the patients’ bodies. The trial marks one of the first times scientists used CRISPR directly inside the body.
