- 1Epigenetic Editing Moves Closer to Clinical Use●Epigenetic Editing Steps Closer to the Clinic as Bioengineering Tools Mature
Epigenetic editing, which alters gene activity without changing DNA sequence, is reported to be advancing toward clinical application as bioengineering tools mature. The development suggests researchers are getting closer to therapies that could switch genes on or off to treat disease, a potentially safer alternative to DNA-cutting technologies like CRISPR gene editing.
