Similar applications as CRISPR gene editing, except with a potentially lower rate of being rejected by the human immune system because it comes from other things than bacteria (CRISPR is from bacteria).
So these things have a better chance of be used to repair mutations in your genome live on the spot, rather than being constrained to being used in a test tube (which is still useful).
