Gene editing has always had a size problem. The molecular scissors that scientists use to cut and repair DNA — the CRISPR-Cas systems — are powerful, but physically too large to fit inside the delivery vehicles needed to reach cells deep within the human body. Until now, most CRISPR therapies have been limited to cells extracted from the body, edited in a lab, and reinfused — a process that works for blood disorders but leaves thousands of genet…
