CRISPR Can Now Edit Genes Using Nanoparticles Instead of Viruses

4/3/2018

This article discusses a new technique developed by researchers at MIT using a combination of CRISPR gene-editing technology, viruses, and nanoparticles to deliver RNA into cells. The researchers used a harmless virus as a transportation system to carry CRISPR components and RNA into cells, allowing for precise gene editing. By leveraging the natural ability of viruses to infect cells, the researchers were able to improve the delivery efficiency and accuracy of gene-editing tools. This new approach has promising implications for various applications, including targeted therapy for genetic diseases.
