The gene-editing technique known as CRISPR is promising to revolutionize medicine. Some researchers are trying to help make it available for people with very rare genetic disorders. A gene-editing ...

When COVID first hit, waiting days for laboratory results from an ultrasensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was commonplace. Faster tests usable by anyone, anywhere, later became widely ...

A research team headed by the University of Zurich has developed a powerful new method to precisely edit DNA by combining cutting-edge genetic engineering with artificial intelligence. The work has ...

KJ Muldoon recently made history by becoming the first patient to receive a personalized CRISPR gene therapy, designed specifically for the genetic mutations causing his rare metabolic disease. Now, a ...

Part 4 of the TED Radio Hour episode Augmenting Humans. Jennifer Doudna's gene-editing technology CRISPR can now manipulate populations of microbes. This new field, called precision microbiome editing ...

CRISPR Therapeutics has reported reductions in triglycerides and LDL cholesterol of more than 80% after a single dose of its in vivo liver editing prospect CTX310, encouraging the company to forge ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this ...

A team at Kobe University has created a game-changing resource for autism research: 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines, each carrying a genetic mutation strongly associated with the disorder. By ...
