Anxiety and binge drinking can be cured through gene editing a “factory reset” for the brain.

factory reset

Adolescent binge drinking causes genetic reprogramming in the brain, which can be reversed by gene editing. According to the findings of an animal study published in the journal Science Advances on May 4, 2022, gene editing could be a potential treatment for anxiety and alcohol use disorder in people who were exposed to binge drinking … Read more

Chinese scientists develop precise gene-editing delivery tool

BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — Chinese scientists have developed a targeted delivery system that can bring gene-editing tools to colon cells, offering a precise cure for inflammatory bowel disease. The study, published on Thursday in the journal Science Advances, reported a CRISPR-Cas9 prodrug nanosystem that can transport a gene-editing protein exclusively to inflammatory lesions in … Read more
