Over the past two decades, the immune system has attracted increasing attention for its role in fighting cancer. As researchers have learned more and more about the cancer-immune system interplay, ...

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 ...

We here at STAT cover CRISPR a lot. But it’s not every day we get to cover Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The Rock and the genome-editing technology meet in a new movie, “Rampage,” coming out Friday.

Researchers discovered the secret checkpoints that keep CRISPR precise, revealing how the tool shifts from inactive to active without misfiring. The insight could transform gene therapy, making ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

Drug resistance has long turned some of the most advanced lung cancer therapies into temporary victories, with tumors learning to shrug off chemotherapy that once held them in check. A new wave of ...

Nobel Prize winner and CRISPR DNA-editing pioneer Jennifer A. Doudna, PhD, spoke Thursday at Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle. Her lecture kicked off the President’s Seminar series, presented by ...

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 ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment opportunity for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The discovery, ...
