Abstract

Researchers can now target specific DNA sequences and easily modify them thanks to recent developments in CRISPR technology, enabling genome manipulation with unmatched precision. Furthermore, cell reprogramming is one of the most fascinating fields in which CRISPR-based techniques are being used. Nowadays, without using embryonic stem cells, scientists can change one type of cell into another by inserting particular genetic alterations. This has significant implications for regenerative medicine since it enables the creation of transplantable cell lines that are patient-specific.
