Scientists from the biotechnology company Crispr hope that they will be able to change DNA to stop the genetic mutation and restore healthy hemoglobin levels.
Before doctors can start shooting Crispr into patients, scientists like McDevitt have to engineer lifelike human microtissues in which to test it first.
Crispr, the powerful gene-editing tool, is revolutionizing the speed and scope with which scientists can modify the DNA of organisms, including human cells.
在纳帕会议的前一个月,来自中国广州中山大学的研究人员宣布,他们已经用Crispr来编辑人类胚胎。
A month after the Napa conference, researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, announced they had used Crispr to edit human embryos.
但是研究人员使用改变游戏规则的基因编辑技术Crispr删除了25个pervs。
But the researchers then used the game-changing gene-editing technology Crispr to delete the 25 Pervs.
在这样的系统中,我们可能只是免费提供Crispr系统,”康克林说。
In a system like that, we might just give the Crispr systems away for free,” says Conklin.
Charpentier doesn't believe in the more dystopian scenarios predicted for gene therapy, including American“biohackers” injecting themselves with Crispr technology bought online.
As they wandered through the alleyways of old San Juan, Charpentier explained that one of Crispr's associated proteins, named Csn1, appeared to be extraordinary.
