flag CRISPR therapy cut flu virus levels by over 50% in human lung chips, showing promise for broad flu treatment.

flag A Harvard study shows CRISPR-based therapy reduced influenza A virus levels by over 50% in human lung chips, a lab model mimicking human lung tissue. flag The treatment, delivered via lung-targeting nanoparticles, slashed viral load and inflammation while minimizing off-target effects. flag By targeting a conserved viral genome region, the approach may work against multiple flu strains, offering potential for broad-spectrum antivirals. flag The research, supported by NIH and DARPA, advances efforts to develop faster, more effective flu treatments that overcome limitations of animal models and annual vaccine updates.
