CRISPR Genome Surgery in Stem Cells and Disease Tissues
About this book
CRISPR Genome Surgery in Stem Cells and Disease Tissues focuses uniquely on the clinical applications of CRISPR/Cas9 based technology. Topics include the latest advances in gene editing and its translational applications to various diseases, including retinal degenerative disease, recessively inherited diseases, and dominantly inherited diseases, to name a few. The book's target audience includes researchers, students, clinicians and the general public. This space that is not currently served by any existing resource, so this publication fills a gap in current literature.
- Provides a thorough review of CRISPR-Cas9, from discovery to therapy
- Covers the latest advances in gene editing and its translational applications to various diseases
- Written by global leaders in the fields of gene editing and stem cell therapy
