Description

Yiqian Wu and co-authors report a bioengineering study, printed in 2024, putting gene editing tools under the control of ultrasound. Focused ultrasound heats a chosen spot deep in tissue, and the team wired that heat switch to CRISPR systems that can cut genes, switch them on, or rewrite their chemical marks. The tools worked across all three modes in cells.

In tumors, ultrasound triggered cutting of chromosome ends, priming the cancer for immune attack. Delivered by viruses into mice, the system woke killer T cells inside a patch of tumor, training them to hunt a universal cancer target nearby. The authors present sound controlled editing as a precise, noninvasive lever for cancer immunotherapy.
