CRISPR and the Ethics of Human Germline Intervention
Genetic modifications in reproductive cells, such as eggs, sperm, or embryos, are commonly referred to as germline editing and are heritable. 1 CRISPR-Cas 9, which stands for clustered regularly ...
Despite emerging clinical successes, current genome editors suffer from off-target effects and can trigger unwanted responses from the immune system, limiting their broader therapeutic applications.
