Ensuite, the researchers reprogrammed the disease-causing gene defects in the stem cells using the CRISPR-Cas9 technique, known as gene scissors. Enfin, the researchers guided the corrected stem cells to differentiate into liver cells to see whether the disease that impairs hepatic function was actually cured and that the fixed cells no longer produced the harmful argininosuccinic acid.

The patients with decompensated cirrhosis mostly have to opt for liver transplantation, but the limited availability of donor organs and high cost results in high waitlist mortality . Stem cells of one’s own body help Lire la suite…
