Vectors can be the ultimate vehicle for transporting material into cells. Except when they’re not so ultimate. Vectors can surprise in good and, sometimes, bad ways. These tools, which can be modified viruses, are in broad use in life science labs. They ferry materials into cells, which may be DNA fragments, genes or in the case of CRISPR, components such as a guide RNA and a Cas enzyme.

As they study the emerging roles of RNA in disease and homeostasis, some scientists use RNA editing to direct precise RNA changes that shape cellular events. Since he started his lab nearly 15 years ago, Stanford University geneticist and RNA biologist Jin Billy Li has been exploring an endogenous process in metazoan cells called RNA editing, along with ways to harness it to target and manipulate RNAs inside human cells.

Scientists in stem cell and conservation biology are exploring how they might rescue endangered species, and perhaps even de-extinct some. From cell to genetically diverse population is a trek. Sudan died in 2018. He was the last male northern white rhino on Earth. Najin and her daughter Fatu might enjoy their grassy meals and frequent naps in the shade even more if they had company beyond the armed guards who watch over them 24/7 in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.
