Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects human hepatocytes, causing acute or chronic liver infection. Chronic HBV infection leads to progressive liver damage, potentially resulting in cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. One promising antiviral strategy involves activating cytidine deaminases of the APOBEC/AID family, which could induce mutational degradation of HBV. Using a CRISPRa-based transcriptional activation...
