CRISPR’s efficiency triples with DNA-wrapped nanoparticles
September 5, 2025
Researchers in Chad Mirkin’s Lab at Northwestern have developed lipid nanoparticle spherical nucleic acids (LNP-SNAs) — a powerful new system to deliver CRISPR tools more safely and effectively into cells. This breakthrough could expand CRISPR’s potential to revolutionize medicine by boosting efficiency and reducing toxicity.
