For Gene Editing, a 'New Frontier'
If deemed safe, scientists hope for widespread use of CRISPR procedure inside patients' bodies

"We literally have the potential to take people who are essentially blind and make them see." Those are the attention-grabbing words of Charles Albright, the chief scientific officer at Editas Medicine, which is sponsoring a study to wield DNA technology in a novel way: edit genes using the CRISPR tool inside the patients' bodies. The gene-editing procedure was recently carried out for the first time inside a patient, who happened to have a congenital eye disorder that causes blindness, with the AP calling it a "new frontier" for DNA finagling. It's not clear when the procedure at Oregon's Casey Eye Institute took place, but scientists hope they'll know within months if it worked and how much of the patient's vision was restored, per NPR. "We're really excited about this," says Harvard Medical School's Dr. Eric Pierce, who's in charge of a study about the procedure.
