mRNA introduced the gene editor CRISPR-Cas9 into human muscle stem cells
muscle stem cells fused into multinucleated myotubes

The researchers used mRNA to introduce the gene editor CRISPR-Cas9 into human muscle stem cells. These cells fused into multinucleated myotubes following mRNA-mediated CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. A myosin heavy chain is seen in green and the nuclei in blue.
