Researchers have developed a new non-viral nanocapsule to deliver a gene-editing payload into biological cells. The capsule, which is made of a biodegradable polymer, is a version of the CRISPR-Cas9 with guide RNA. The structure could help overcome some of the problems associated with viral vector delivery of gene editing tools.
