Recently Intellia Therapeutics in collaboration with Regeneron announced some promising results for their phase I trial using their lead product NTLA-2001, for an Investigational CRISPR Therapy for Transthyretin (ATTR) Amyloidosis. In this video I discuss the science behind in vivo CRISPR gene editing and what this means more generally for the CRISPR field or as Intellia phrase it the #NewEraOfMedicine.

![I do brain training every morning. But should you?
I do brain training every morning. For roughly 5 minutes i do different games that are purported to improve and train my memory, speed, attention, maths, language and problem solving. But do these forms of brain training really work? Will it improve my intelligence or my general daily performance? What about neurodegenerative diseases? Are there alterative, better methods such as exercise, walking, reading or language learning?
Well, i was on the case.
But generally it seems the verdict is no. There is very little evidence to support any benefit of brain-training and there may actually be some negatives. But, given this new insight, will i change my daily habit? Well, youll have to watch to find out. ;)
