New lipid nanoparticle CRISPR delivery system developed
Lipid nanoparticles have been used to encapsulate CRISPR-Cas9 and deliver it to cells in mice, where it was highly effective at knocking down expression of a target protein. Gene therapy is a potential mode of treatment for a wide variety of diseases caused by genetic mutations. While it has been…
Scientists introduced alligator DNA into catfish to create hybrid
The use of CRISPR also casts doubt on the viability of the technique as it may prove “too difficult to produce enough of these fish to get a viable, genetically healthy line going,” says Greg Lutz, an expert on aquaculture genetics at Louisiana State University. There is also uncertainty surrounding…
