Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

‘Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because these technologies involve literally cutting DNA at a specific point in the genome. First of all it will be used for ultra-rare monogenic disease.
