Faster, better, cheaper: the rise of #CRISPR in #disease #detection
Powerful gene-editing tool could help to diagnose illnesses such as Lassa fever early and rein in the spread of infection.
An epidemic of Lassa fever in Nigeria that has killed 69 people this year is on track to be the worst ever recorded anywhere. Now, in the hope of reducing deaths from Lassa in years to come, researchers in Nigeria are trying out a new diagnostic test based on the gene-editing tool CRISPR.
The test relies on CRISPR’s ability to hunt down genetic snippets ― in this case, RNA from the Lassa virus ― that it has been programmed to find. If the approach is successful, it could help to catch a wide range of viral infections early so that treatments can be more effective and health workers can curb the spread of infection.
Scientists in Honduras and California are testing CRISPR diagnostics for dengue viruses, Zika viruses and strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) associated with cancer. And a study to explore a CRISPR test for the Ebola virus is pending in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

SCIENTIST WHO GENE-HACKED BABIES “LIKELY” BOOSTED THEIR BRAINPOWER
“When infamous Chinese scientists He Jiankui edited the genes of human twin babies last year, he was reportedly trying to make them immune to HIV. But researchers familiar with the genetic changes he made are now saying that the specific manipulation he performed may have broader consequences.
The CCR5 gene is linked to HIV susceptibility, but research published Thursday in the journal Cell shows that it also enhances cognition in mouse studies. The gene can also facilitate a human’s recovery after a stroke and…”

WESTERN BIOTECH FIRM TREATS FIRST PATIENT WITH CRISPR
“A Switzerland-based startup called CRISPR Therapeutics just used gene-editing name to treat someone with the blood disease beta thalassemia.
That’s a big deal, because it marks the first time CRISPR gene editing has been used in a Western clinic — Chinese doctors have already tried using it to treat cancer — according to the MIT Technology Review.
“Treating the first patient in this study marks an important scientific and medical milestone,” CRISPR Therapeutics CEO Samarth Kulkarni said in a company-published press release, “and the beginning of our efforts to fully realize the promise of CRISPR/Cas9 therapies as a new class of potentially transformative medicines to treat serious diseases.”…”

Template-free #geneediting is possibly the fastest and efficient method available today to correct genetic disorders. With no donor templates introduced, the gene’s inherent ability to correct itself could be the way forward for #CRISPR. More details at http://bit.ly/2DTz2X5
