CRISPR Just Deleted a Whole Chromosome?!

Scientists in Japan just used CRISPR to snip out the extra chromosome that causes Down syndrome in lab-grown cells—and the results are wild. The edited cells started acting more like typical ones, with better growth and less stress. They even tried it on mature skin cells, not just stem cells! It’s not ready for the clinic yet, but this could totally change how we think about treating genetic conditions. Imagine actually fixing the root cause, not just the symptoms! #CRISPR #DownSyndrome #GeneEditing #Health #BodyHealth
