"When we tested phages that could not go dormant, the CRISPR system did not work nearly as well." After isolating the bacteria that survived, and letting the survivors repopulate the flask, the ...

A longstanding mystery in Parkinson's disease research has been why some individuals carrying pathogenic variants that ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

A biotech company recently announced that it's implanted another pig kidney into a human recipient. Here's what to know.

RAPID-CRISPR test quickly and accurately diagnoses acute promyelocytic leukemia, a rare and aggressive blood cancer, with ...

CRISPR has not been widely used in cancer treatment until now because scientists believed that removing just one gene wouldn’t be enough to stop cancer. But Peer’s work shows that some genes ...

CRISPR looked like an ideal way to engineer a T cell. It’s a simple process, with minimal off-target effects, and works on a wide range of cell types. But there’s one area where CRISPR has ...

In December 2020, the New England Journal of Medicine published a paper titled CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing for Sickle Cell Disease and β-Thalassemia, marking an exciting new chapter in the treatment of ...
