SPARK scholar Dr. Rosa Bacchetta and team featured in SPARK’s blog Bridging the Gap publishes Science Advances paper on CRISPR-based gene correction of the gene that causes rare disease IPEX syndrome. The team showed that a CRISPR-based gene editing platform successfully edited the FOXP3 gene in HPSCs, which maintained differentiation in vitro and in vivo, and in T cells from IPEX patients.
