Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

The powerful gene-editing technique CRISPR–Cas9 might offer a way to make safer, more effective cancer-fighting immune cells engineered inside the human body, a mouse study has found. Cancer-fighting ...

In just the past few years, researchers have found a way to use a naturally occurring bacterial system known as CRISPR/Cas9 to inactivate or correct specific genes in any organism. CRISPR/Cas9 gene ...

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...

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 ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first cell-based gene therapies for sickle cell disease, including the ...

Young adult mice with a genetic form of progressive deafness can hear again after being treated with an experimental CRISPR gene therapy that its creators hope to eventually use in humans. In an ...

Scientists study a molecular machine that moves jumping genes in DNA, paving the way for a new gene editing tool beyond CRISPR-Cas9. (Nanowerk News) More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a ...

When in the clutches of β-secretase, the amyloid precursor protein (APP) lives up to its name, churning out the starting material for Aβ peptides and all that comes from them. What if this whole ...

A detailed look at the predicted structure of a new CRISPR-Cas tool that promises to expand the genomic editing and manipulating abilities of the original. Researchers at Duke University and North ...
