Epigenetic Editing Revolutionizes Gene Therapy | Science News
Gene therapy is evolving beyond DNA editing—companies are now tweaking the epigenome, the gene control layer, using CRISPR-like tools to adjust gene activity without cutting DNA. This approach shows early promise for FSHD and high cholesterol, with trials revealing muscle gains and cholesterol drops. Personal stories drive innovation, like a CEO motivated by her husband’s family history. Other firms are advancing treatments for hepatitis B too. But experts warn: the epigenome is vital to development and reproduction, so precision and safety must be prioritized as this revolutionary field…
