A powerful duo - gene editing meets hiPSC
Gene editing, especially using the CRISPR-Cas9 system, represents a key technological breakthrough in recent scientific history – but it isn’t the only important advance. Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are another powerful tool that has greatly propelled new research and therapeutic strategies in fields including...
