For the first time, scientists have used CRISPR gene editing to successfully treat a genetic disease inside a fully developed living mammal. CRISPR editing is a process whereby scientists can effectively rewrite the genetic code of an organism by cutting out and replacing individual components of DNA. In this study, researchers in the US used CRISPR to treat an adult mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, delivering the gene-editing system directly to affected tissues.
