Faulty genes fixed before birth

Faulty genes fixed before birth

A new study shows that a biomedical tool can successfully deliver genetic material to fix faulty genes in developing fetal brain cells. Tested in mice, this technology may help prevent genetic-based neurodevelopmental conditions like Angelman syndrome and Rett syndrome before birth.
