The first generation of CRISPR-Cas9 was often described as molecular scissors, a groundbreaking tool that allowed scientists to cut DNA at specific locations to disable or alter genes. While revolutionary, these early scissors were sometimes blunt, occasionally leading to unintended genetic scars or unpredictable mutations when the cell tried to repair the break. Today, we […]
