When the monkeys were single-celled embryos, scientists had used CRISPR editing tools to silence, or “knock out”, a gene that ...

2024 — Researchers have used gene editing to restore hearing in adult mice with a type of inherited hearing loss. They showed that shutting down a damaged copy of a gene called a microRNA (miRNA ...

Researchers developed a new gene-editing strategy that dramatically boosts the effectiveness of gene therapies in the liver, a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for about 700 genetic ...

A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard ...

In a new study, published Tuesday (Feb. 18) in the journal Nature Communications, researchers used CRISPR gene editing to ...

A £1.65 million treatment has been approved for use for some NHS patients, offering some with an inherited blood disorder hope of a cure. Campaigners reacted with joy as health officials approved ...

A new study links a particular gene to the origins of spoken language, proposing that a protein variant found only in humans may have helped us develop speech.

In a shift away from GMOS, aka genetically modified organisms, important research is continuing in gene editing, sometimes referred to as “the next big thing in agriculture.” The important ...

PRGN-2012—which Precigen has begun to call by its generic name of zopapogene imadenovec—is a gene therapy designed to elicit immune responses directed against cells infected with human papillomavirus ...

Agans is doing cutting-edge research in experimental genetics as a lab assistant and honors student in Jack Bateman’s lab.

Verve offered few details on the early end of a collaboration the companies inked in 2022, saying only that Vertex cited “changing priorities.” ...

One innovative aspect of this study is the methodology used: the team employed CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to label the MFN1 and MFN2 proteins within the cell, without resorting to artificial ...
