Gene anschalten statt umbauen: CRISPR aktiviert Zellprogramme ohne DNA-Eingriff
摘要
Activating genes in their endogenous genomic context is essential for studying gene regulation and cell identity, but was long technically limited. CRISPR-based gene activation (CRISPRa) enables programmable transcriptional control at native loci. DNA-free CRISPRa ribonucleo-proteins (dRNPs) allow transient, multiplexed gene activation without genomic modification and enable controlled modulation of cellular states, with potential relevance for future translational applications.
