De-arming CRISPR/Cas9 to increase knock-in efficiency
The ability to knock in (KI) DNA sequences via homologous recombination (HR) to generate knockout (KO) mice was first demonstrated 30 years ago by Mario R. Capecchi, Martin J. Evans and Oliver Smithies (1,2). In recent years, CRISPR/Cas9 has revolut...

The painless people
Wouldn’t it be nice if we felt no pain? Although lacking the ability to feel pain sounds tempting, considering we could have simply moved on with our lives without going through the hassle of tending to our injuries, the consequences of being painle...

From fibroblast to blastocyst: the magic ingredients
When the lab of Shinya Yamanaka revealed that viral introduction of Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc (OSKM) into adult skin cells could transform them into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), the world quickly took notice at the prospect of using iP...

CRISPRing our cellular roots
The remarkable process by which a single totipotent zygote develops into the approximately 37 trillion cells in a human body is orchestrated by a highly controlled sequence of signaling events resulting in a multitude of differentiated cell types. T...

AAVs usher in the new era of Gene Therapy
Adeno-associated virus (AAV), initially discovered as a contaminant of adenovirus preparations (1), is the choice vehicle for gene therapy due to its ability to transduce proliferating and non-dividing cells with no known pathogenicity to humans. As...

In vivo reprogramming with viral vectors
Although multicellular organisms are made up of many cell types, all with essentially identical genomes, cells rarely interconvert between cell types. Once a cell acquires a specific cell fate, it generally does not assume the phenotype of an alternate cell type....
