    Since the advent of the CRISPR gene editing technology known as "gene magic scissors", it has brought many innovations to the development of biomedicine


    A few days ago, Professor Youyang Zhao of Northwestern University School of Medicine and the Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute led the research team to report a new delivery technology in the journal Cell Reports


    Since the usual method of delivering CRISPR-Cas9 in a viral vector is not suitable for such cells, the new technology allows genome editing to reach vascular endothelial cells for the first time, according to news from the research institute


    The nanoparticles, produced from biodegradable materials, targeted the vasculature without specific enrichment in the liver

    In the paper, the researchers validated the new delivery technique in a mouse model
