CRISPR'd pigs offer hope for the human organ transplant shortage
TechCrunch But there's hope on the horizon, thanks to a new study out in Science today involving CRISPR'd piglets. Researchers in the study used the gene-editing technology to effectively cut out a porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) commonly found throughout … CRISPR Opens Up New Possibilities for Transplants Using Pig Organs CRISPR slices virus genes out of pigs, but will it make organ transplants to humans safer? CRISPR makes piglets that may be better organ donors for humans |
