CRISPR/Cas in iPSCs from sphingolipidoses patients

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) were found as an immune adaptive mechanism in bacteria and quickly were applied to various fields as a promising tool for gene editing. Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of metabolic disorders caused by defects in lysosomal proteins leading to accumulation of undigested macromolecules within the cells. The lack of good in vitro models hinders research of the...
