Genome-editing Technologies for Gene and Cell Therapy
12 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Gene therapy has historically been defined as the addition of new genes to human cells. However, the recent advent of genome-editing technologies has enabled a new paradigm in which the sequence of the human genome can be precisely manipulated to achieve a therapeutic effect.
