CRISPR-SMART Cells Regenerate Cartilage, Secrete Anti-Arthritis Drug
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News We have anti-arthritis drugs. What we lack is the ability to deploy them when and where they are needed in the body. The drugs would be far more effective, and occasion fewer side effects, if they were to appear only in response to inflammation, and … Fighting arthritis may be easier thanks to SMART cells built on CRISPR gene-editing toolFirstpost New Arthritis Vaccine Shows Promise In Fighting Inflammation [VIDEO]University Herald |
