In a scientific test, 29 of 31 patients alleviated with Casgevy were actually free of extreme discomfort for at least a year after acquiring the therapy, which highlights the medicinal possibility of CRISPR-- Cas9. "It was actually a fabulous, watershed moment for the industry of genetics modifying," points out biochemist Jennifer Doudna, of the Innovative Genomics Institute at the College of California, Berkeley.
