In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.201901299, Chunsheng Kang and co‐workers demonstrate the collateral effect of the CRISPR‐Cas13a system in glioma cells. EGFRvIII is a unique EGFR mutant subtype in glioma, and the CRISPR‐Cas13a system induces death in EGFRvIII‐overexpressing glioma cells. Furthermore, CRISPR‐Cas13a inhibits the formation of glioma intracranial tumors in mice. The results indicate the powerful tumor eliminating potential of this system.
