CRISPR/Cas9 editing of APP C-terminus attenuates β-cleavage and promotes α-cleavage

CRISPR/Cas9 editing of APP C-terminus attenuates β-cleavage and promotes α-cleavage

Gene editing strategies are typically designed to correct mutant genes, but most neurodegenerative diseases are sporadic. Here the authors describe a strategy to selectively edit the C-terminus of APP and attenuate amyloid-β production, while upregulating neuroprotective α-cleavage.
