Scientists Use CRISPR Tools to Safely Disable Gene Mutation Linked to Advanced Skin Cancer

In a potential advance for melanoma patients, researchers at ChristianaCare’s Gene Editing Institute have used CRISPR gene editing tools to disable a gene mutation often seen in aggressive forms of this dangerous skin cancer that renders promising treatments ineffective. The study, published in the October 10 issue of the CRISPR Journal, focused on melanoma cells…
