Un câine din rasa Beagle deține cheia pentru persoanele cu alergii. Bailey, modificat să devină hipoalergenic • Newsweek România

Scientists have developed a hypoallergenic Beagle named Bailey using CRISPR technology, potentially benefiting allergy sufferers. This genetic modification reduces a key protein in saliva and fur that triggers allergic reactions. While the technique shows promise, long-term health effects need monitoring, and commercialization remains a challenge. Experts warn it could impact animal shelters negatively. Previous attempts at creating hypoallergenic pets through cloning resulted in unhealthy puppies. The research aims to create a line of dogs that do not cause allergies, with further testing planned.
