Amazing work. Baby Is Healed With World’s First Personalized Gene-Editing Treatment https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/health/gene-editing-personalized-rare-disorders.html ( paywall free link https://archive.ph/VNYzA#selection-799.0-811.14 )

Text from the article reads that I found amazing:
To accomplish that feat, the treatment is wrapped in fatty lipid molecules to protect it from degradation in the blood on its way to the liver, where the edit will be made. Inside the lipids are instructions that command the cells to produce an enzyme that edits the gene. They also carry a molecular GPS — CRISPR — which was altered to crawl along a person’s DNA until it finds the exact DNA letter that needs to be changed.
