While CRISPR-Cas9 is celebrated for precise genetic cuts, new research reveals it disrupts the epigenetic layer governing gene expression. These molecular 'scars' persist even when the DNA sequence is repaired perfectly, posing overlooked risks for gene therapies.

Researchers have detailed a precise protocol for attaching monoclonal antibodies to nanoparticles without compromising their function. By anchoring the antibodies by their tails using metal-free click chemistry, the method ensures the binding sites remain free to engage efficiently with their targets.
