Scientists at the University of Southern California developed a version of CRISPR that responds to ultrasound.

In tests in mice, they used it to clear out cancer.

100% of the mice receiving the treatment survived, clearing their cancers completely.

The team says that future work should focus on improving the technique and potentially extending it beyond CAR T cell therapy.
