Ex Vivo Hepatocyte Reprograming Promotes Homology‐Directed DNA Repair to Correct Metabolic Disease in Mice After Transplantation
15 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing in hepatocytes using homology‐directed repair (HDR) is a potential alternative curative therapy to organ transplantation for metabolic liver disease. However, a major limitation of this approach in quiescent adult primary hepatocytes is that nonhomologous end‐joining is the predominant DNA repair pathway for double‐strand breaks (DSBs). This study explored the hypothesis...
