| Abstract: | CRISPR is a recent discovery regarding adaptive immunity in prokaryotes against viruses and a breakthrough in genetic engineering. With a little help from the scientific community, CRISPR can be used to practically modify any kind of DNA, not just only eliminate viruses’ DNA. This method is so precise that it can cut down to a single letter of the DNA strand. The future medicine using CRISPR-based methods can be able to solve any kind of human disease like cancer and could even slow down the aging process. We started with Cas9 and Cpf1 nucleases and better methods are being developed. Who would know that an old immune system like this can have the power to obliterate almost any kind of disease? |
