CRISPR Technique Could Correct Majority of Thousands of DMD Mutations

A study from UT Southwestern demonstrates how a new CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technique improves the function of heart muscle cells taken from DMD patients. From left to right, the footage shows the beating function of a healthy heart muscle tissue, DMD heart muscle tissue, and tissue edited by CRISPR/Cas9. [UT Southwestern Medical Center]
