On May 8, 2026, an international team led by the University of Utah Health Sciences Center achieved a breakthrough in the field of gene editing, developing a new CRISPR technology named Cas12a2. This technology abandons the traditional CRISPR 'molecular scissors' logic and instead acts as a 'gene shredder'. Scientists can program it to rapidly shred the DNA of specific diseased cells (such as cancer cells or virus-infected cells) upon recognition, precisely eliminating the lesions while not damaging surrounding healthy cells. The research findings were published in the latest issue of the journal Nature.
