Overcoming the Undesirable CRISPR-Cas9 Expression in Gene Correction

The CRISPR-Cas9 system is attractive for gene therapy, as it allows for permanent genetic correction. However, as a new technology, Cas9 gene editing in clinical applications faces major challenges, such as safe delivery and gene targeting efficiency. Cas9 is a foreign protein to recipient cells; thus, its expression may prompt the immune system to eliminate gene-edited cells. To overcome these challenges, we have engineered a novel delivery...
