The reality-adjusted title of this piece by Adam Feuerstein ✡️ is: "The Business of One CRISPR Medicine Developed In 2016 Using 2009-Style Delivery Is Not Great 8 Months After Its Approval" = a LOT will change in next 5 years statnews.com/2024/08/15/cri…
Is there room for human #CRISPR gene editing beyond treating existing disease? We need answers soon based on progress in the field. Antonio Regalado's piece provides serious food for thought here. Read and feel your heart rate rise - in a good way. technologyreview.com/2024/08/22/109…
Do you know the "you know you make me wanna shout!" song? Would you like to start singing it loudly and with joy? Read this. I did and am giving the Isley Brothers a run for their money. Sam Sternberg science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
