Footprint-free gene mutation correction in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived from recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) using the CRISPR/Cas9 and piggyBac transposon system
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a monogenic skin blistering disorder caused by mutations in the type VII collagen gene. A combination of biological technologies, including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and several gene-editing tools, allows us to develop gene and cell therapies for such inherited diseases. However, the methodologies for gene and cell therapies must be continuously innovated for safe clinical use. Our study demonstrated one of the safer approaches to establish gene and cell therapies for skin hereditary disorders for future clinical use.
