CSO, and biologist Dr. Max Plach works with a groundbreaking new technology for editing genes, called CRISPR-Cas9. The tool allows scientists to make precise edits to DNA strands, which could lead to ...

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, ...

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.

One of the most well-known versions of the gene-editing tool CRISPR may not work in a large proportion of the population, according to recent research out of Stanford University in California. CRISPR, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The gene editing tool known as CRISPR-Cas9 is changing what’s possible for treating a wide range of diseases caused by genetic mutations. But so far, attempts to use the technology to address ...

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 ...

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, ...
