In 2013, Benjamin Oakes was hellbent on getting his PhD while working on the bleeding edge of molecular engineering: refining a gene editing tool, Crispr, that promised to some day cut DNA as ...
The practice of genetic modification is as old as humanity. For thousands of years, humans have bred crops, livestock and even pets that possess desirable traits. This selective process, which alters ...
When the genome-editing tool CRISPR is thought of as a potential medicine, the targets that first come to mind are diseases like sickle cell or other conditions caused by particular mutations. Use ...
Cutting-edge gene editing technology could eradicate Down syndrome, according to Japanese scientists. Down syndrome, which causes a range of developmental differences and affects 1 in 700 newborns in ...
Both CRSP and NTLA are advancing in vivo gene editing therapies targeting large markets, with financial stability supporting ...
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 ...
Intellia Therapeutics said it is pausing two late-stage CRISPR gene-editing trials after a patient in one study was hospitalized with liver damage.
A lthough still in its early days, CRISPR has already been called the most powerful scientific tool of the century. Using ...
On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a pair of gene therapies for the painful and potentially fatal blood disorder, sickle cell disease (SCD)–including the first-ever CRISPR ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, revolutionizing the ability to edit genes and ...
