The Role of CRISPR in Modern Medicine
CRISPR, which is a new kind of technology that rewrote the string of old rules, is now overturning the shape of the contemporary medicine in a quite radical way. Short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats or CRISPR, the technology enables scientists to accurately edit DNA within cells of living objects by employing the given sequence. The significance of which lies in overcoming the limits of the past medicines that are used to resolve the problems of the genes remotely.
CRISPR's employing to treat sickle cell anemia, beta-thalassemia, is another important advantage of CRISPR. Theses do not contain within themselves compensatory cases. The premise clinical testing has revealed that this method can successfully correct hematopoietic stem cells that have been removed, which provides viable blood cells.
Moreover, CRISPR is not confined to success against genetic disorders only and is also exploited in dealing with cancers. The scientists test CRISPR to the same purpose - to target and fail cancer cells, while preserving the healthy ones. It will become possible to minimize side effects caused by usual methods - these are chemotherapy and radiation.
Ethical implication of gene editing is revered as being kind of complexity for which a careful thought and regulation are meant to be considered. By all means CRISPR is one of the most promising technologies diversified from the long-established routes of medicine, but it looks like medicine could be cured at its roots in the future.
