Glowing Monkeys? Scientists Rewrite the Rules of Primate Genetic Engineering

Japanese researchers used a nonviral piggyBac system to genetically modify cynomolgus monkeys, enabling more accurate disease models and advancing primate genetic engineering. Genetic engineering in non-human primates has traditionally relied on virus-based methods to deliver genes, which has posed significant limitations. In a recent breakthrough, researchers in Japan successfully introduced a transgene, a gene artificially […] Read More
