CRISPR- A Possible Cure for Blindness and a Variety of Other Diseases?

CRISPR- A Possible Cure for Blindness and a Variety of Other Diseases?

In this video Matt and Corey read and discuss an article from the Star Tribune by Mary Marchione titled CRISPR used in body for first time, marking a new frontier. In this article they discuss how the CRISPR / Cas9 Gene editing platform was used for the first time inside someone’s body to restore the vision of someone with Leber congenital amaurosis. If the first few attempts seem safe, they will test it on 18 adults and children. This is great news for people who LCA or blindness, as well as people with a variety of conditions as any progress in medicine and technology can help other fields. Thank you for being here. We hope this information was valuable. We do not have medical backgrounds and we are simply providing the information we have read in their article and gleaned from the CRISPR Therapeutics Website.
