Reply to comment by senorbozz in Experimental CRISPR technique has promise against aggressive leukaemia by tonymmorley

Exactly! What are the further possibilities if you can do this on one “area”, can it be used on other “defects”?

Please search radiolab and crispr. They did a story about 8 years ago, it’s two parts and very interesting.

I didn’t realize we were already using crispr in people, but it does have the possibility of changing healthcare forever.

My daughter has Vitiligo, and uses methotrexate so this is very interesting if this DNA defect could be rewritten, to avoid the side effect of the chemotherapy!
