Prof Andrew Sharrocks, of the faculty of biology, medicine and health at the University of Manchester said: “It is clear that with future improvements in the Crispr technology that the current study will be the first of many that attempt to harness this technology for treating human medical conditions.
“Treating cancer is one of the uses but also potentially combating auto-immune type diseases including things like arthritis although a lot more work will be needed to bring that to fruition.
“I would expect similar types of approaches to be pioneered in the next few years as the potential for using this technology in the medical sphere is high and potentially transformative.”
