Externally applied physical stimuli offer superior spatiotemporal precision, reversibility, and biocompatibility for triggering CRISPR-Cas9 activity compared with chemical molecule-inducible systems.
Physical-stimuli-responsive CRISPR-Cas9 systems can enhance controllability, target specificity, and practical applicability across diverse biological settings.
Achieving spatiotemporally controlled gene editing within specific organs, tissues, or cells remains a major challenge because unregulated CRISPR-Cas9 activity can cause severe off-target effects that hinder clinical translation.
A persistent bench-to-bedside gap remains for physical stimuli-responsive CRISPR-Cas9 systems, motivating development toward clinically viable solutions.
