The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Drug Discovery World

Adult fibroblasts were cultured in a cocktail of transcription factors to reactivate embryonic gene expression patterns 2. Base editing uses a guide RNA in partnership with a nickase version of Cas9, mutated to cut only a single strand of DNA, along with a deaminase enzyme to enable alteration of a single nucleotide 23,24.
