image: CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in motor neurons helped alleviate symptoms and increase overall survival of mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's disease. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 20 Dec/ 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by T. Gaj at University of California, Berkeley in Berkeley, Calif., and colleagues was titled, "In vivo genome editing improves motor function and extends survival in a mouse model of ALS." view more
