| | | New model sheds light on the genetic roots of polygenic diseases Many statistical models and algorithms used by scientists can be imagined as a "black box." These models are powerful tools that give accurate predictions, but their internal workings are not easily interpretable or understood. | |

| | | Single treatment with CRISPR gene editing therapy offers hope for hereditary angioedema patients A single treatment with, a CRISPR-Cas9 based gene editing therapy, is enough to replace the daily medication of patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a condition characterized by severe, painful and sudden onset of swelling, sometimes resulting in death. | |
