Both too much and too little of a protein can lead to severe intellectual deficiencies

New research from the University of Lausanne reveals that both the excess and the deficiency of a single protein can lead to severe intellectual deficiencies.

30 May 2024

Miniaturized CRISPR protein opens door for gene therapy with adeno-associated virus

Researchers have developed a novel version of a key CRISPR gene-editing protein that shows efficient editing activity and is small enough to be packaged within a non-pathogenic virus that can deliver it to target cells.
