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, ...
A poorly characterized protein, historically thought to be a chaperon or enzyme, may actually be a key player in prostate ...
Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By ...
The practice of genetic modification is as old as humanity. For thousands of years, humans have bred crops, livestock and even pets that possess desirable traits. This selective process, which alters ...
The first medicine based on gene editing, a one-time therapy for sickle cell disease, was just approved in the United States. It’s a big moment for patients with sickle cell disease and for the ...
Banas is associate director of research at the Gene Editing Institute at ChristianaCare, where Kmiec is founder and executive director. The medical promise of CRISPR gene editing can be seen most ...
Viruses armed with the gene-editing tool CRISPR could someday be used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), results from an early clinical trial suggest. However, the experimental treatment, which ...
What do infectious diseases, T-cells, tomatoes, heart failure, sickle cell anemia and sorghum harvests have in common? Cathie Martin, a botanist at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, England, works ...
