Gene-Edited Pigs Better Model Huntington’s Disease

Using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system, researchers have developed a pig model of Huntington’s disease that better mimics how the disease progresses in humans.

Treating Huntington’s With Gene Knockout Might Be Safe For Adults

Although deleting the huntingtin gene is lethal for young mice, it appears to safely treat the disease in adult mice.
