The CRISPR-Cas system holds tremendous potential in gene therapy and disease treatment. In the future, scientists will continue to explore and develop applications of the CRISPR-Cas system in various disease treatments, including cancer, genetic disorders, and immune system diseases. Currently, the CRISPR-Cas system is primarily used for genome knockout, insertion, and repair. Future research will strive to achieve more precise and intricate genome editing, such as single-base editing and genome rearrangements. 4.2 Interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing In the future development of the CRISPR-Cas system, interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing will play a crucial role. Such collaboration and sharing will drive the advancement of the CRISPR-Cas system, accelerating its applications in medicine, agriculture, environmental sciences, and other fields. Simultaneously, emphasis should be placed on legal and ethical considerations to ensure the application of the CRISPR-Cas system within a rational and sustainable framework. Education and training are also pivotal, cultivating a diverse pool of professionals to promote widespread application and development of the technology. The application of the CRISPR-Cas system involves various disciplines such as biology, medicine, bioengineering, computer science, among others. In the future, scientists and researchers from different disciplines will strengthen collaboration to collectively address challenges and issues faced by the CRISPR-Cas system across various fields. For instance, biologists can contribute knowledge about genome structure and function, medical experts can provide insights into disease treatment needs and clinical practices, and engineers can offer support in technical improvements and equipment design. Research and application of the CRISPR-Cas system require extensive data and knowledge support. In the future, scientists will enhance the sharing of data and knowledge related to the CRISPR-Cas system to facilitate research progress and technological innovation. This will contribute to accelerating the development of the CRISPR-Cas system, avoiding redundant efforts, and improving research efficiency. The widespread application of the CRISPR-Cas system also raises a series of legal and ethical issues. In the future, there is a need to strengthen research and discussions in the legal and ethical aspects, formulate relevant policies and standards, and ensure that the application of the CRISPR-Cas system occurs within a reasonable and sustainable framework. As the CRISPR-Cas system advances, the importance of cultivating scientists and researchers with relevant knowledge and skills becomes paramount. In the future, there is a need to enhance education and training on the CRISPR-Cas system, fostering a greater number of professionals to drive widespread application and development of the technology. 4.3 Application of CRISPR-Cas system in other fields In addition to the medical field, the CRISPR-Cas system holds vast application prospects in agriculture, bioenergy, environmental protection, biopharmaceuticals, medical technology, and biological research. With continuous technological development and refinement, the CRISPR-Cas system is poised to bring revolutionary changes and innovations to these diverse fields. The CRISPR-Cas system can be employed to enhance crops by improving their disease resistance, drought tolerance, and yield (Zhu et al., 2020). By editing the genomes of plants, it is possible to create healthier and more nutritionally rich crop varieties. Moreover, the CRISPR-Cas system can also be applied to improve the genes of livestock and poultry, enhancing their disease resistance and productivity, thereby improving agricultural production efficiency and food safety. The CRISPR-Cas system can be utilized to enhance microorganisms (Javed et al., 2018), enabling more effective production of biofuels and other useful chemicals. Additionally, the CRISPR-Cas system can be applied to modify harmful organisms in the environment, controlling the spread of pests and pathogens, consequently reducing the use of pesticides and environmental pollution.
