When activated by its target, the newly characterized molecule rips the genome apart, a lethal move that researchers can ...

Scientists used CRISPR to disable the NRF2 gene, restoring chemotherapy sensitivity in lung cancer cells and slowing tumor growth. The technique worked even when only a fraction of tumor cells were ...

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of CRISPR advances is not only correcting single mutations in the lab but ...

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...

Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Now, scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a powerful new CRISPR ...

Researchers in the WashU Medicine Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences have discovered key neuroprotective genes ...

Aurora Therapeutics' first target is the rare inherited disease phenylketonuria, also known as PKU. Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013 ...

Scientists have discovered a new CRISPR mechanism with precise activity, expanding the potential applications of the existing CRISPR toolbox. The CRISPR ‘gene scissors’ have become an important basis ...

A single infusion of an experimental gene-editing drug appears safe and effective for cutting cholesterol, possibly for life, according to a small early study released Saturday. The study, which ...

Gene editing tools are powering new innovation in the plant sciences world, but that brings new considerations of intellectual property and regulatory risks. Ever since powerful new gene editing tools ...
