Abstract
The CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, derived from the adaptive immune mechanisms of bacteria, has demonstrated remarkable advantages in fields such as gene function research and the treatment of genetic diseases due to its simplicity in design, precise targeting, and ease of use. Despite challenges such as off-target effects and cytotoxicity, effective spatiotemporal control strategies have been achieved for the CRISPR/Cas9 system through precise regulation of Cas9 protein activity as well as engineering of guide RNAs (gRNAs). This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the core components and functional mechanisms underlying the CRISPR/Cas9 system, highlights recent advancements in spatiotemporal control strategies, and discusses future directions for development.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
