addresses the dire need for a non-viral delivery vehicle that is both effective and clinically safe (Lee et al., 2017). Lee et al. (2017) discovered that gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can be used in-vivo to deliver Cas9 RNP and donor DNA while simultaneously inducing HDR. This new vehicle delivery system, which the researchers named CRISPR-Gold, begins as a complex of Cas9, thiol DNA, gRNA, and donor DNA, bound to a central GNP. This complex is coated with an endosomal disruptive polymer poly(N-(N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-aminoethyl)
