CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function

89% Informative
Recent work points to a promising approach with CRISPR -based methods.
It is possible to cut away the surplus chromosome in affected cells, which appears to bring their behavior closer to typical function.
After removing the extra chromosome, the corrected cells grew slightly faster and had a shorter doubling time compared to untreated trisomy cells.
