Abstract
In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, two complementary studies from Zeng et al.1 and Demirci et al.2 improve the efficacy of gene therapy for β-hemoglobinopathies using multiplex CRISPR-Cas9 editing. The authors also optimize editing and conditioning protocols to reduce risks associated with current gene therapy procedures.
