Huntington’s Reversed with CRISPR
Anti Aging News
Scientists made use of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing delivered through a viral vector. They snipped a segment of a gene that produces toxic protein aggregates within the brains of mice. Several weeks later, the aggregated proteins nearly disappeared in the …
