Programmable CRISPR tools are turning stem cell biology into something closer to software engineering, shrinking ...

In this interview, News Medical speaks to Assistant Professor Ryan Jackson about his latest work, published in tandem Nature papers, detailing the discovery of a new CRISPR immune system. Please can ...

The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system has revolutionized biomedical research, and has now even been used in the clinic is some rare instances. CRISPR originated in bacteria as a kind of immune defense ...

A new technique has been added to the CRISPR gene-editing toolbox. Known as PASTE, the system uses virus enzymes to “drag-and-drop” large sections of DNA into a genome, which could help treat a range ...

Scientists from Kolkata-based Bose Institute have created GlowCas9 -- a CRISPR protein that lights up while performing gene editing -- to help boost treatment of genetic diseases and cancer, said the ...

CRISPR, the gene-editing technology which won its creators the 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, is most well-known for its ...

CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology is one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of recent decades, but there’s always room for improvement. Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) ...

Another potentially game-changing discovery has come out of the lab of Feng Zhang, PhD. This time, they uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in eukaryotes. Just a few months ago, the ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscle degeneration disorder caused by mutations affecting the dystrophin gene. Researchers show how a dual CRISPR RNA method restored dystrophin protein ...

Previous studies in mice have shown that gene editing may be used to potentially treat conditions such as anxiety. While CRISPR/Cas9 represents a revolutionary gene editing technology, its delivery to ...
