@sebastien-levesque.bsky.social and I review therapeutic genome editing for inherited blood disorders rdcu.be/ewcZ3. We cover CRISPR, patient journey, DNA repair, patient access, genotoxicity, hemoglobinopathies, delivery, bone marrow failure, coselection, immunodeficiency, and more.
CRISPR-based therapeutic genome editing for inherited blood disorders
Nature Reviews Drug Discovery - CRISPR-based technologies provide a diverse set of tools to correct pathogenic mutations. This Review describes the promise and the challenges of genome editing...

Excited to share our latest where we describe a gene editing method termed prime assembly that enables RNA programmable targeted integration of gene-sized DNA sequences in nondividing cells without dsDNA or nuclease-driven DSBs. See thread by incomparable @Seb. Also complementary work Sontheimer/Xue
I’m thrilled to share our latest preprint! Inspired by isothermal Gibson assembly cloning, we wondered whether we could assemble and integrate DNA sequences at a specific genomic locus in human cells. A thread (1/7) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper from my lab! Elevated mitochondrial membrane potential is a therapeutic vulnerability in Dnmt3a-mutant clonal hematopoiesis: rdcu.be/eh1Nb Complementary to new work from Steven Chan & @georgevassiliou.bsky.social as described by @goodell-lab.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Age-related blood condition counteracted with a common diabetes drug
Metformin could reduce people’s risk of certain age-associated blood cancers, but more work is needed to identify who is likely to benefit.
