Researchers at the Broad Institute have improved gene-editing to efficiently insert entire genes into human cells, offering potential for single-gene therapies for diseases like cystic fibrosis. This method combines prime editing with new enzymes to enhance editing efficiency, potentially revolutionizing gene therapy.
The gene-editing technique employs prime editors along with advanced enzymes known as recombinases. This method has the potential to lead to universal gene therapies that are effective for conditions like cystic fibrosis.
Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have enhanced a gene-editing technology that can now efficiently insert or replace entire genes in human cell genomes, potentially making it suitable for therapeutic uses.
