So everyone is buzzing about the CRISPR patent court decision (which BTW I think was flawed but that’s for another post), but the research roars on at warp speed.

Here are 7 recent CRISPR articles that caught my attention.

What are your favorite recent CRISPR papers?

Genome surgery using Cas9 ribonucleoproteins for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. Do you think the term “genome surgery” is appropriate?

Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-assisted gene targeting enables rapid and precise genetic manipulation of mammalian neural stem cells. CRISPR on the brain.

Muscle-specific CRISPR/Cas9 dystrophin gene editing ameliorates pathophysiology in a mouse model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. CRISPR pre-clinical promise.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system efficiently reverts the tumorigenic ability of BCR/ABL in vitro and in a xenograft model of chronic myeloid leukemia. CRISPR vs. cancer.

Expanding the CRISPR Toolbox: Targeting RNA with Cas13b. CRISPR systems continue to evolve.

CRISPR/Cas9-AAV Mediated Knock-in at NRL Locus in Human Embryonic Stem Cells. CRISPR’ing ES cells.

Interspecies Chimerism with Mammalian Pluripotent Stem Cells. I blogged on this one here and did an opinion piece at WaPo here.

  1. Hi Dr. Knoepfler, thank you for the great sharing. I am a PhD student from Monash University Australia. I am working on CRISPR gene editing on human iPSCs to study kidney disease. Personally, I found it so fascinating yet overwhelming the field is moving so fast where I am just at the very beginning of the learning journey. Please continue to share the latest stem cells news and would love to hear your thoughts about the updates. Ricky
