CRISPR activation
Okay, kiddo, you know how sometimes there are things in our bodies that make us sick, like some kinds of germs or illnesses? Well, scientists have found a new way to fight these things called CRISPR activation.
CRISPR is like a tiny scissor that helps cut and edit the DNA, which is like a big instruction manual of our bodies. Scientists can use it to 'turn on' some specific parts of DNA, like a light switch! This process is called CRISPR activation.
Imagine your DNA is like a book, and inside that book, there are words and sentences that tell your body what to do. CRISPR activation allows scientists to highlight and turn some of those words and sentences on and off, like a highlighter. So we can tell the instructions inside the book to do something specific, like produce more of a certain protein that fights off a particular disease.
It's a very complicated process that only very smart people can do, but they're doing it to help people all over the world. So, in short, CRISPR activation is like a highlighter for your DNA, and it helps scientists fight diseases by turning on specific parts of your body's instruction manual.
