"CRISPR's efficiency triples in lab tests with DNA-wrapped nanoparticles

With the power to rewrite the genetic code underlying countless diseases, CRISPR holds immense promise to revolutionize medicine. But until scientists can deliver its gene-editing machinery safely and efficiently into relevant cells and tissues, that promise will remain out of reach.

Now, Northwestern University chemists have unveiled a new type of nanostructure that dramatically improves CRISPR delivery and potentially extends its scope of utility."

#Crispr Offers New Hope for Treating #Diabetes
#SanaBiotechnology's #Gene-edited pancreatic cells have been transplanted into a patient with #type1diabetes for the first time. They produced #insulin for months without the patient needing to take immunosuppressants.
The edited cells were implanted into the forearm muscle of the patient, and after 12 weeks, no signs of rejection were detected.
Roughly 9.5 million people worldwide have type 1 diabetes

🌘 CRISPR基因編輯技術為糖尿病治療帶來新希望
➤ 基因編輯的胰島細胞，讓身體不再排斥，為一型糖尿病治療開啟新篇章
✤ https://www.wired.com/story/no-more-injections-crispr-offers-new-hope-for-treating-diabetes/
一項開創性的研究首次將經過CRISPR基因編輯、能規避人體免疫反應的胰島細胞植入一位第一型糖尿病患者體內。這些細胞在植入後持續數月產生胰島素，且無需患者服用免疫抑制藥物，為再生醫學領域的糖尿病治療帶來重大突破。儘管研究初期參與者有限且有待更多驗證，但此技術預示著未來無須依賴免疫抑制劑即可克服細胞移植排斥問題的可能。
+ 這項技術聽起來太神奇了！如果能成功，將造福無數的糖尿病患者。
+ 雖然令人振奮，但仍需謹慎看待，畢竟目前樣本數很小，也有些獨立研究未能證實其效果。
