Scientists just made CRISPR three times more effective

• CRISPR gene-editing machinery could transform medicine but is difficult to get into tissues and disease-relevant cells
• New delivery system loads CRISPR machinery inside spherical nucleic acid (SNA) nanoparticles
• Particles entered cells three times more effectively, tripled gene-editing efficiency, and decreased toxicity compared to current delivery methods

With the power to rewrite the genetic code underlying countless diseases, CRISPR holds immense promise to revolutionize…
