“Through CRISPR RNA optimization, we achieved around 59% editing at the TTR locus in our in vitro experiments. In the mouse ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...

Medical anthropologist and bioethicist Julia Brown says scientists and nonscientists need to talk about whether and how we should use CRISPR to edit the fetal genome. When you purchase through links ...

For years, researchers have been trying to figure out how to treat inherited blood disorders like sickle cell disease without causing new health problems in the process. Now, a team of scientists from ...

Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...

Thanks to CRISPR, our medical specialists will soon have unprecedented control over how they treat and prevent some of our most challenging genetic disorders and diseases. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly ...
