Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Potential solutions: For CRISPR systems, the likelihood of off-target editing has been shown to be influenced by a variety of factors, ranging from the design of the gRNA 1 and Cas9 protein 2 , to the targeted cell type 3 , to name a few examples. In vivo approaches involve delivering the gene editing components directly into the patient.
