combined viral and non-viral delivery of CRISPR system components to the mouse liver.
“This finding really excites us because it makes us think that this is a gene repair system that could be used to treat a range of diseases — not just tyrosinemia but others as well,” says Dr. Daniel Anderson.
“It’s really exciting to see our team develop this new delivery approach for CRISPR, which I believe has the potential to have far-reaching implications,” says Dr. Robert Langer.Image Ernesto del Aguila III/NHGRI
