Caffeine as a Precision Switch: Repurposing Common Stimulant for Advanced Gene Therapy Control
Texas A&M researchers are integrating caffeine—a ubiquitous dietary compound—with CRISPR gene-editing technology to establish a novel chemogenetic control system. This breakthrough allows for the external, temporal regulation of gene expression, offering new pathways for treating complex conditions like cancer and diabetes with unprecedented precision.
