The goal of gene therapy is to permanently cure hereditary diseases. One of the most promising technologies for this is the ...

A research team has established a CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system for Chrysanthemum morifolium, targeting the CmPDS gene to explore gene functions and enhance breeding. By combining transient and ...

People with Type 1 diabetes lose insulin-producing beta cells due to an autoimmune reaction, forcing lifelong dependence on ...

Mouse embryonic stem cells differentiated into motor neurons after a GFP tag was inserted in frame with the motor-neuron-specific transcription factor HB9, using CRISPR/Cas9 engineering. The Patent ...

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 ...

Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...

MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we ...

Scientists at the San Raffaele Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy (SR-Tiget), Milan, have found that gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 in combination with AAV6 vectors can trigger inflammatory and ...

Scientists introduced CRISPR to the world as a gene-editing tool in summer 2012, when landmark papers from two independent groups demonstrated how the system could be wielded to make cuts in DNA. Now, ...
