Enzyme can target almost half of the genome’s “ZIP codes” and could enable editing of many more disease-specific mutations. The genome editing system CRISPR has become a hugely important too... Read more
CHOP/Penn Medicine Team Shows first example of base-editing tool to treat a disease in utero in animal models For the first time, scientists have performed prenatal gene editing to prevent a... Read more
UT Southwestern researchers today report the first use of CRISPR genome-wide screening to identify a gene that helps cells resist flavivirus infection. That nasty class of pathogens includes... Read more
Gold nanoparticles carried Cas9 enzyme into brain, editing receptor and lessening burying behavior Scientists have used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to lessen some autism symptoms in mice with a... Read more
An international team of researchers has made CRISPR technology more accessible and standardized by simplifying its complex implementation. The simpler, faster CRISPR, which is presented in... Read more
A strip of paper can now indicate presence of pathogens, tumor DNA, or any genetic signature of interest. 100-fold greater sensitivity, the ability to detect multiple targets at once, and ot... Read more
New Platform Transforms CRISPR Gene Editor Into Precision Tool Using the gene-editing tool CRISPR to snip at DNA is often akin to using scissors to edit a newspaper article. You can cut out... Read more
The Salk approach, tested in a mouse model, points to cheaper and more effective treatments for humans For most people with hemophilia B, whose bodies can’t properly form blood clots, consta... Read more
Process marks the first time researchers have delivered CRISPR/Cas9 repressors for targeted therapeutic gene silencing in adult animal models Biomedical engineers at Duke University have use... Read more
New technique developed by UAlberta researchers vastly improves precision of gene-editing technology. Imagine a future where a guided biomachine put into your body seeks out defective gene s... Read more
In a landmark study, scientists have used CRISPR gene editing to introduce beneficial natural mutations into blood cells to boost their production of foetal haemoglobin. In a landmark study... Read more
Salk scientists create new molecular scissors to correct protein imbalance in cellular model of dementia Most people have heard of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, which acts as targ... Read more
The bacterial immune system “CRISPR-Cas9” is known to eliminate invading DNA. Würzburg scientists now discovered that it can also readily target RNA – a result with potentially far-reaching... Read more
Deleting a single gene from mosquitoes can make them highly resistant to the malaria parasite and thus much less likely to transmit the parasite to humans, according to a new paper from scie... Read more
Scientists have developed a CRISPR gene-editing technique that can potentially correct a majority of the 3,000 mutations that cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) by making a single cut a... Read more
