Expanding upon the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, researchers at MIT have designed a new technique called PASTE gene editing that can cut out defective genes and replace them with new genes in a safer and more efficient way. The PASTE gene editing technique was recently published in Nature Biotechnology.

Over 26 weeks of Sunlenca combined with other antiretroviral drugs, 81 percent of participants achieved HIV RNA suppression, reaching levels low enough to be considered undetectable. In 2021, the FDA granted approval to San Francisco-based Excision BioTherapeutics to start trials assessing CRISPR gene editing as a potential treatment for HIV.

The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes. Related: 2020 Year in Review: COVID-19, CRISPR and Immunotherapies Define the Year for the Life Sciences.
