Gene Editing Could Treat Damage From 'Irreversible' Kidney Disease

Gene editing could treat damage from 'irreversible' kidney disease

Using CRISPR to correct the mutations behind polycystic kidney disease could counter some of the damage the condition causes

Gene Editing Offers Hope for “Irreversible” Kidney Disease Damage Treatment – Mondo News

Kidney disease can result in hypertension and infections Mohammed Haneefa Nizamudeen/Getty Images Recent animal research suggests that damage caused by the most prevalent hereditary kidney disease may not be as irreversible as previously thought. Researchers are using CRISPR gene editing to potentially reverse certain mutations responsible for the condition. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) gradually alters [...]
