RNA 'Cut-and-Patch' Tool Repairs Faulty Messages without Altering DNA
University of Hong Kong researchers unveiled RNA Segment Editing (RSE), a "cut‑and‑patch" platform that precisely removes and replaces faulty RNA segments in living cells without altering DNA. The tool leverages an engineered Cas13 enzyme to achieve segment‑level editing, a capability beyond existing single‑base RNA editors. Published in Nature Communications, RSE demonstrated the ability to excise toxic repeats in Huntington’s disease models while preserving normal protein coding. The approach promises reversible, programmable RNA therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.
