Scientists use gene editing to correct harmful mitochondrial mutations in human cells
In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA using a genetic tool known as a base editor. The results, published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, offer new hope for people with rare genetic conditions.
