Stem cells can be used to study the effects of disease on numerous tissue types due to their pluripotency, or ability to produce cells of any type. But using gene-editing tools with them can be challenging, according to Xiaojun (Lance) Lian, associate professor of biomedical engineering, because delivery of gene-editing tools into stem cells can be inefficient, time-consuming or expensive.
