科学家利用CRISPR创建了“可编程”胚胎模型,推进发育障碍研究。 Scientists create "programmable" embryo models using CRISPR, advancing developmental disorder research.

UC Santa Cruz的科学家利用CRISPR技术开发胚胎的“可编程”细胞模型,叫做胚胎,来自干细胞,避免了对实际胚胎进行实验的需要。 Scientists at UC Santa Cruz used CRISPR technology to develop "programmable" cellular models of embryos, called embryoids, from stem cells, avoiding the need to experiment on actual embryos. 这些模型可以自我组织成与自然胚胎形成早期阶段相类似的结构,为研究发育障碍和突变提供更准确的基线。 These models can self-organize into structures resembling the early stages of natural embryo formation, providing a more accurate baseline for studying developmental disorders and mutations. 这一突破可导致更好地理解如何处理各种发展问题。 This breakthrough could lead to a better understanding of how to treat various developmental issues.
