Breathing new life: Working toward an inhalable gene therapy for cystic fibrosis
Although cystic fibrosis is a single gene mutation, there are more than 1,000 different ways the CFTR gene can mutate in ...
Cells That Build Themselves Into an Embryo? Scientists Just Made It Happen
Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...
