For More InformationA New Approach to Treating Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of bone marrow disorders where the bone marrow is incapable of producing healthy mature blood cells. Through a process called hematopoiesis, blood stem cells or hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) within the bone marrow give rise to blood cells, such as white blood cells, platelets, and red blood…

RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease is a genome-editing tool that allows researchers to edit parts of the genome by removing, adding, or altering sections of the DNA sequence. CRISPR-Cas9 targets double-stranded DNA using single guided RNA (sgRNA) that shepherds the nuclease to the target DNA sequence. Once at the target, CRISPR-Cas9 creates a double-stranded DNA break. Consequently,…
