Deskripsi

Base editing to treat diseases is progressing but tissue delivery and progenitor cells correction are challenging. Here, the authors show sustained effects and propagation of mutation-corrected progenitors by transient adenine base editor expression, improving the skin phenotype of HGPS mice.
