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 ...

Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method—CRISPR—sometimes does more harm than ...

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they'd stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could ...

CRISPRgenee is a new method that combines gene silencing and cutting to improve loss-of-function studies in human cells.

Researchers engineered and screened dozens of base editors to precisely target a single mutation without editing other portions of the DNA.

CRISPR, the gene-editing technology that has revolutionized biological research, is finally available as a medical treatment with regulatory approval. On December 8 the U.S. Food and Drug ...
