New Virus-Like Particles Can Deliver CRISPR to Any Cell in the Body
Gene therapy is a lot like landing a Mars rover. Hear me out. The cargo-a rover or gene editing tools-is stuffed inside a highly technical protective ship and shot into a vast, complex space targeting its destination, be it Mars or human organs. The cargo is then released, and upon landing, begins its work.
