Ohio State University researchers have developed a device which changes the genetic code of cells for treatment inside a patient's body. The non-invasive tissue nanotransfection technology is based on an engineered protein called CRISPR-Cas9. The TNT technology could be used to repair injured or deteriorating tissue, giving it potentially revolutionary medical applications
Ohio State University researchers have developed a device which changes the genetic code of cells for treatment inside a patient's body. The non-invasive tissue nanotransfection (TNT) device is placed on the skin, where it can reprogramme cells into elements of any organ using a harmless electrical pulse before being removed. The TNT technology could be used to repair injured or deteriorating tissue, giving it potentially revolutionary medical applications
