The CRISPR system is dubbed to be molecular “scissors” that can cut out parts of genes that are abnormal, deactivating or replacing them with new strands of normal DNA. This has tremendous potential for curing diseases that are caused by faulty/mutated genes. Both therapies will be available in early 2024.
