A/Prof @rickgsliu aims to end the need for regular eye injections for AMD & diabetic eye disease by developing treatments targeting a person’s RNA. What is RNA? Why is targeting it better than DNA? CERA's A/Prof Liu & Dr @FloraHui explain: theconversation.com/rna-editing-is… @ConversationEDU

EyeResearchAus's tweet card. We can already tinker with human DNA to treat diseases. But being able to edit RNA allows for even more precision – and fewer risks.
