From the article:
While testing on lab mice, the Tufts University biomedical engineers developed a gene-editing tool that could specifically target organs like the liver, alter cells in the immune system, and cross the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain in order to edit specific brain cells as well, according to research published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
