CRISPR/Cas9 editing of APP C-terminus attenuates β-cleavage and promotes α-cleavage
28 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR/Cas9 guided gene-editing is a potential therapeutic tool, however application to neurodegenerative disease models has been limited. Moreover, conventional mutation correction by gene-editing would only be relevant for the small fraction of neurodegenerative cases that are inherited. Here we introduce a CRISPR/Cas9-based strategy in cell and animal models to edit endogenous amyloid precursor protein (APP)...
