CRISPR Cas9 and its Uses in Bowel Disease: A Review
Anika Killa
Abstract: CRISPR Cas9 is a groundbreaking genome editing tool that allows precise modifications of genes, offering significant potential in treating hereditary diseases. This paper explores the application of CRISPRCas9 in improving gut health, specifically focusing on Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis, coeliac disease, and malrotation. Gut diseases, which affect digestion and nutrient absorption, pose serious health challenges. Despite ongoing research, there remains a considerable gap in effective treatments. CRISPRCas9 provides a promising avenue for genetic intervention, potentially revolutionizing the management and treatment of these complex diseases.
