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.

Scientists in Israel have used the CRISPR Cas-9 gene editing system to destroy cancerous cells in mice without damaging other cells. To conduct the research, the scientists used hundreds of mice with two of the most aggressive forms of cancer: glioblastoma and metastatic ovarian cancer. Photo courtesy of Science Advances.

An area of interest has been deciphering ALS’s genetic underpinnings and delivering functional copies of dysfunctional genes to the patient. The targeted ASOs aim to downregulate the expression of gene mutations that are associated with gain-of-function toxicity that leads to motor neuron loss in some ALS cases.
