Gene Therapy for Skin Fragility Diseases: The New Generation
Abstract
Ex vivo gene therapy is a promising approach to treat devastating skin fragility diseases. March et al. and Takashima et al. report that programmable nucleases-TALENs and CRISPR/Cas9-can safely and efficiently correct genetic defects in cultured adult skin cells, paving the way for broader clinical applications of gene therapies in dermatology.
