Medicine & TechnologyCOVID-19 has taken over the world, but thanks to experts who used reliable technologies to tackle the coronavirus, the world is slowly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Scientists used this new gene-editing tool to repair mutations found in mice with the premature-aging syndrome progeria. It also brings promise to treat many genetic diseases.
India has ranked second in COVID-19 positive cases yet lacks available testing. A new CRISPR and paper-based Feluda test may drastically change testing around the world.
Fertility experts reported that editing genes of embryos are not yet safe in humans and should only be used to treat serious single-gene diseases, such as cystic fibrosis.
A CRISPR-based coronavirus test could possibly help us end COVID-19 soon. The test involves modifying genes and is said to provide faster results than other tests. Scientists are still working out trials to improve the test but many believe that the technology could aid many in the fight against coronavirus. Click the link above to learn more.
