Codon Digest: Injected Gene Editors

Codon

Read Inhalable nanoparticles, packaged with mRNA or CRISPR systems, efficiently edit lung cells. They achieved high gene-editing efficiencies in airway epithelial cells (which are normally hard to target.) Therapeutic neutralizing monoclonal antibody administration protects against lethal yellow fever virus infection.

Molecular biology has only been around for about 80 years, and tools to study biomolecules (such as DNA and RNA sequencing, or proteomics) have only existed for about half of that time. We are in the absolute infancy of molecular and cell biology, and this means there’s a lot of stuff we still don’t understand.
