CRISPR is an amazing tool that could change the face of bioengineering forever. The technology has the potential for alleviating or treating #genetic diseases and/or their symptoms. For example, cystic fibrosis can be caused by genetic alterations that affect the epithelial cells in the airways. This irregularity can be corrected by using CRISPR to remedy the genetic sequence that causes the lack of normal function in the airways.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a malady that affects several aspects of a person’s physiology and severely impacts their health and their quality of life. One example of DMD’s debilitating impact on a person is the reduction of muscle function.
Using CRISPR technology, the muscle function can be partially restored and greatly improve the quality of life of the person suffering from DMD.
