Stem Cells therapies and CRISPR gene-editing are not new. Having able to grow the desired cells and manipulate the genome system have proved to be the most important breakthrough so far.
We all are aware of the fact that
Embryos possess the potential to produce pluripotent
cells that researchers experiment on to produce Regenerative Medicine.
But that results in the killing of a nascent embryo. So, inducing adult cells
to transform into pluripotent was practiced upon to avoid endangering embryos.
But, the potential obstacle ‘immune system rejection’ was still haunting. Scientists earlier were relying solely on Immunosuppressants but that resulted in the patien...
