Description
Yihan Wang and co-authors reviewed in 2026 how precise gene editing might treat diseases of the mouth. Such diseases affect billions of people and are linked to heart disease, diabetes, and joint disease. Normal care relies on cleaning, scraping, and germ-fighting drugs, which have clear limits.
Editing tools, chiefly CRISPR-Cas9, can change set genes and shift how cells behave. The review covers uses for tooth decay, mouth cancer, and defects of the jaw and face bones. It also weighs ways to deliver the tools, from physical methods to tiny carriers and gels. Most proof is still early, and safe delivery plus off-target change remain major hurdles.
