CRISPR delivery

CRISPR delivery refers to the methods used to introduce CRISPR-Cas9, a powerful gene-editing tool, into cells. This process is crucial because, for CRISPR to edit genes, it needs to reach the right cells. Common delivery methods include using viruses, tiny lipid particles, or electroporation, which applies an electric field to make cell membranes more permeable. Effective delivery ensures that CRISPR can successfully modify genetic material, offering potential treatments for genetic disorders, cancers, and more. Each method has its advantages and challenges, impacting how safely and efficiently CRISPR can be used in research and medicine.
