Fighting RNA viruses with a gold nanoparticle Cas13d gene-editing armor
17 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
A novel Cas13d-based gene-editing approach has been developed to target viral RNAs in infected cells, reducing the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Zika virus (ZIKV) by up to 90% compared with controls. Despite its potential, the use of Cas13d as an antiviral faces several challenges that limit its effectiveness before reaching target cells. This study presents a...
