Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long ...

Megan covers the intersection of science and society. How is biomedical research funded? Who benefits? And how do new technologies reflect and shape our values? You can reach Megan on Signal at ...

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this mechanism, ...

Researchers have successfully develop single-atom editing technology that maximizes drug efficacy. In pioneering drug development, the new technology that enables the easy and rapid editing of key ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.

New research has determined the spatial structure of various processes of a novel gene-editing tool called 'prime editor.' Functional analysis based on these structures also revealed how a 'prime ...

While researchers have long appreciated the enormous potential of genome editing to treat disease, applications of these technologies in humans have historically been limited by safety concerns. Even ...

An optimized version of prime editing technology raises the possibility of a one-time treatment for cystic fibrosis. In their 2019 paper, Liu’s team used prime editing to alter the gene mutations ...

Samarth Kulkarni, Crispr Therapeutics CEO, joins 'Power Lunch' to discuss the hurdles to getting rare disease drugs through regulation, what consumers can look forward to in gene editing, and much ...

The development of gene editing tools, which enable the specific targeting and correction of mutations, hold the promise of allowing us to correct those mutations that cause genetic diseases. However, ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which the α-synuclein protein abnormally aggregates within brain cells, causing neuronal damage. Through international collaboration, ...
