Research Roundup: New CRISPR, ALS, Colon Cancer, Asthma and More

There are plenty of great scientific research stories out this week. Here’s a look at just a few of them.

CRISPR to Treat a Genetic Disease in Prenatal Mice

Researchers with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania used CRISPR-Cas9 and base editor 3 to edit the genes of mice in utero to treat for a mouse model of hereditary tyrosinemia type 1, a lethal liver disease. They published their research in the journal Nature Medicine.
