          Prime Medicine said Friday it successfully used a new, ultra-versatile form of genetic surgery called prime editing to edit liver cells in monkeys.

          The results, presented at the European Society of Gene & Cell Therapy meeting in Brussels, are a major step for a technology that could transform treatment of numerous diseases.
