SCIENTISTS RESTORE VISION IN MICE, ACHIEVE 170-FOLD GENE EDITING BOOST

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Scientists at MIT and Harvard have designed tiny virus-like particles that can carry prime editors into mouse cells with a high success rate to correct a genetic disorder. The technique improves the editing process by 170 times in human cells. It was able to correct genetic mistakes and restore vision when tested on mice with genetic eye problems without creating any unintended changes.
