A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...
Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of ...
Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St.
CRISPR was one of the most influential breakthroughs of the last decade, but it's still imperfect. While the gene editing tool is already helping people with genetic ailments, scientists are also ...
Against this backdrop, a team led by Professor Zhang Han and Associate Professor Chen Zhi from Shenzhen University in China , has demonstrated an innovative approach that combines DNA origami, CRISPR ...
A RIPE team used CRISPR/Cas9 to increase gene expression in rice by changing its upstream regulatory DNA. While other studies have used the technology to knock out or decrease the expression of genes, ...
Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...
In December 2020, the New England Journal of Medicine published a paper titled CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing for Sickle Cell Disease and β-Thalassemia, marking an exciting new chapter in the treatment of ...
