News from CRISPR Medicine News

  • Monday's feature was about the successful use of CRISPR-Cas9 to selectively disrupt a mutant PSEN1 allele that causes familial Alzheimer’s disease. We interviewed Evangelos Konstantinidis, the first author of the proof-of-concept study, showing that gene editing in human fibroblasts may reverse Alzheimer's disease phenotypes by reducing the accumulation of extracellular amyloid-β deposits.
  • On Wednesday, the clinical update reported on a new base-editing cholesterol-reducing therapy that has been approved for a clinical trial in New Zealand. The treatment, VERVE-101, is developed by Verve Therapeutics.
  • Our sister-site CRISPR AgroBio News (CARBON) launched its bi-weekly newsletter on Tuesday with links to recent news from CRISPR in agriculture. The top story was the introduction of a single base mutation in SOC1 in lettuce that delayed bolting, i.e., when crops put on a vertical growth spurt to flower and set seed before the vegetables are ready for harvest.
