How can CRISPR systems achieve persistent therapeutic effects while avoiding chronic immune responses to Cas proteins in the CNS?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

The debate highlighted that long-term CRISPR expression triggers immune responses, but epigenetic therapies require persistence. No clear solution exists for balancing therapeutic duration with immunogenicity in brain tissue.
