"Nature" publishes Chinese research results: correcting a "typo" in the brain, autistic mice return to normal.

In the early hours of February 19th, the international top scientific journal "Nature" published a new achievement by the team of Professor Li Fei and Associate Researcher Yang Kan from the Department of Pediatrics and the Key Laboratory of Environment and Child Health of the Ministry of Education-Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine affiliated Xinhua Hospital, in collaboration with the team of Researcher Qiu Zilong from the Songjiang Research Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the team of Researcher Cheng Tianlin from the Brain Science Translational Research Institute of Fudan University, and the team of Academician Li Jinsong from the Center of Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They have invented a method that can penetrate into the brain and accurately correct the "misspelled word". The researchers admitted that there is still a long way to go from animals to actually being used on patients, and many details need to be refined. However, they have successfully "corrected" a gene error that leads to disease in the brain, the most sophisticated organ. For countless families troubled by such diseases, this may be the first glimmer of hope.
