To compete at iGEM, a sort of science Olympics, teens at a Georgia high school set their sights on finding a better way to ...

In the ever-evolving realm of modern medicine, a once-distant dream to conquer disease through genetics has now inched closer to reality. Last Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved ...

Scientists introduced CRISPR to the world as a gene-editing tool in summer 2012, when landmark papers from two independent groups demonstrated how the system could be wielded to make cuts in DNA. Now, ...

Researchers have been able to manipulate large chunks of genetic code for almost 50 years. But it is only within the past decade that they have been able to do it with exquisite precision – adding, ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

Over the past two decades, the immune system has attracted increasing attention for its role in fighting cancer. As researchers have learned more and more about the cancer-immune system interplay, ...

"Eugenics seeks to improve by eliminating the characteristics considered at a particular time and place to be disadvantages and to maximize those considered normal." When you purchase through links on ...

An experimental gene-editing treatment shows promise for permanently lowering levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, ...

In a provocative first step toward an elusive end to a devastating disease that has claimed 40 million lives, three patients have received CRISPR gene-editing therapies in an effort to eradicate HIV ...

A new study shows that neurons repair CRISPR-Cas9 cuts in unique, highly predictable ways, unlike dividing cells. Researchers ...

Possibly (indeed probably) a dumb question but why the relatively elaborate scheme to restart fetal haemoglobin expression, rather than repairing the defective HbA gene? I thought CRISPR/Cas editing ...
