One Year Later: CRISPR Success in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Model

Researchers have shown that a single systemic treatment using CRISPR genome editing technology can safely and stably correct a genetic disease -- Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) -- for more than a year in mice, despite observed immune responses and alternative gene editing outcomes.

Rare Brain Disease Could Hold Clues for Common Disorders

Researchers have clarified, for the first time, the mechanism behind a very rare brain disorder called MICPCH syndrome in animal models. Information gleaned from this study could also inform research into other, more common neurological disorders such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, and autism.
