CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, as an innovative biomedical tool, holds significant potential in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. By precisely editing key genes such as PCSK9, CRISPR-Cas9 offers the possibility of long-term regulation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Early clinical studies of gene editing therapies like VERVE-101 have yielded encouraging results, highlighting both the feasibility and potential efficacy of this technology.

Atrophic acne scars present a significant therapeutic challenge. While subcision with various adjunctive treatments, including fractional CO₂ lasers and polydioxanone (PDO) threads, has been employed for scar remodeling, comparative evidence on their efficacy remains limited. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction between subcision with fractional CO₂ laser and subcision with PDO screw threads in managing atrophic acne scars.
