Improvement of diabetic conditions by epigenome editing using CRISPR/dCas9 synthetic tools. The epigenome editing is cutting edge research tool for deciphering the pathology of diabetes and for offering a potential cure. The existing epigenetic editing tools are consisting of target DNA sequence recognition part (TALEN or dCas9) and linked to different effector domains (ED). ED could be any of epigenetic modifiers of DNA (DNMTs and TETs) or histones (histone modifying enzymes). In regard of diabetes treatment, several in vitro and in vivo studies based on usage of these tools have been recently released and are listed in the inset tables. gRNA-guide RNA.
