CRISPR Brings Gene-Edited Human Embryos Closer to Reality

Recent breakthroughs in in-vitro gametogenesis (IVG) have brought the possibility of gene-edited human embryos closer to reality, with CRISPR-Cas9 poised to make heritable gene editing viable within years. Gene-editing technology is well established and has remained a prominent focus of scientific and public interest in recent years. Gene editing is a scientific technique that allows researchers to make precise changes to DNA, such as correcting mutations, removing faulty genes, or adding new genetic material. Tools like CRISPR-Cas9 act like molecular scissors, enabling targeted edits that can influence how genes function source: https://news.shib.io/2025/04/14/crispr-brings-gene-edited-human-embryos-closer-to-reality/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=crispr-brings-gene-edited-human-embryos-closer-to-reality
