CRISPR/Cas-Based Therapy Development for Rare Genetic Diseases: From Shakedown to Maiden Voyage

Author(s):

Olagunju Abdulrahman A

The long held curiosity about how to correct a variety of human diseases and defects, as well as  the quest to address disturbing and obscure solution to misfortune chance of extra chromosomes in rare diseases such as Down syndrome has deem the light of scientist's search to the field of gene therapy. The discovery of the Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), the mechanism of the CRISPR-based prokaryotic adaptive immune system (CRISPR-associated system, Cas), and its repurposing into a potent gene editing tool has revolutionized the field of molecular biology and generated excitement for new and improved gene therapies. Additionally, these advances in genome editing with programmable nucleases have opened up new avenues for multiple applications, f... view moreĀ»
