Revolutionizing Gene Therapy: Scientists Discover Vivo RNA-Based Gene Editing in Blood
Scientists have recently made a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize the treatment of human genetic diseases. In a study published in Nature, researchers have developed a technique to deliver gene therapies directly into the bloodstream via an RNA-based delivery system. This new approach has the potential to directly treat genetic diseases in vivo for the first time, providing a safer and more effective alternative to current methods. The technique utilizes a nanoparticle-based delivery system to target specific cells and deliver the desired gene therapy without damaging surrounding tissue. The researchers tested the method on mice and found that it was able to successfully deliver the gene therapy and correct genetic conditions in the animals. This breakthrough could potentially provide a cure for many genetic diseases, and the researchers are already exploring ways to further improve the technique.
