DEGREE OF APPROXIMATION ASSOCIATED WITH SOME ELLIPTIC OPERATORS AND ITS APPLICATIONS

The Jackson-type estimates by using some elliptic operators will be achieved. These results will be used to characterize the regularity of some elliptic operators by means of the approximation degree and the saturation class of the multivariate Bernstein operators as well.

Addressing challenges in the clinical applications associated with CRISPR/Cas9 technology and ethical questions to prevent its misuse

The recently developed RNA-guided clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat （CRISPR）/CRISPR-associated 9 （Cas9） nuclease system has progressed to be an invaluable technology for genome manipulation in somatic cell types and germline model organisms. While the unprecedented advance in human embryo gene editing research has great potential in next-generation therapeutics, it raises various ethical concerns that need to be addressed before being translated for clinical use. Here, we discuss the current and potential applications of CRISPR/Cas9 technology and its limitations in clinical applications, as well as ethical and legal considerations in the treatment, disease prevention or disability in somatic cells or human embryo via gene editing.
