Can CRISPR gene therapy help cure diabetes?
Experimental gene therapy has cured mice of diabetes, and although work is at a very early stage, scientists hope the technique will one day free people from its effects. United States scientists introduced a gene to the mice that enabled their livers to generate insulin. Professor Lawrence Chan, who led the research at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, said: “It’s a proof of principle. The exciting part of it is that mice with diabetes are ‘cured’.” Liver... View Article
