Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

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 ...

In a 15-patient, Phase 1, first-in-human trial, a one-time CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing therapy safely reduced LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in people with difficult-to-treat lipid disorders, ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

CRSP’s main value driver is Casgevy, which was approved for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. It’s a one-time ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 stem‐cell therapy. Unfortunately, Casgevy’s rollout has been slow ...

Researchers have successfully resurrected a gene that humanity lost millions of years ago. The results could change how we treat common diseases such as gout and maybe even contribute to slowing down ...

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 ...
