Abstract (original English)

In this report, we examine the extensive research landscape of CRISPR with an emphasis on CRISPR therapeutics and showcase our results from an in-depth analysis of the most up-to-date scientific information consisting of more than 53,000 publications encompassing academic journal articles and patents, spanning nearly three decades, extracted from the CAS Content Collection. Our analysis indicates that cancer and infectious diseases are the most explored in the context of CRISPR. Identified gene targets associated with CRISPR-related publications are led by TP53, c-myc, and hemoglobin beta subunit (HBB). Among the many delivery methods, adeno-associated vectors (AAVs) appear to be highly explored. With >140 CRISPR-based therapeutics in the clinical development pipeline and billions of dollars in investment, the field of CRISPR continues to evolve rapidly. We also briefly discuss the ethical implications of CRISPR technology. While some fundamental challenges persist, the future of CRISPR is undoubtedly bright.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
