Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University jointly with their colleagues from St. Petersburg, Hamburg and London have found that polymer and hybrid silica-coated microcapsules are more efficient in genome-editing when applying CRISPR-Cas9. In the future, this joint development will significantly simplify and increase the efficiency of genome editing, which can treat previously irremediable inherited diseases such as Alzheimer’s, hemophilia and many others.
