AI Protein Design Cracks Biotech's Biggest Bottleneck: Delivery

German scientists used generative AI to design Synthetic Transfer Vehicles, protein shells that carried RNA into cells more efficiently than the lipid nanoparticles they tested and delivered a CRISPR edit in a pig.

AI Redesigned CRISPR's Molecular Scissors, and They Beat Nature's

Jennifer Doudna's lab used an AI protein-design model to build a synthetic gene-editing enzyme, SynTnpB, that edits human cells nearly twice as efficiently as the natural version. Here is what the Science paper actually shows, and what it does not.
