MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we treat hundreds of genetic diseases. By fine-tuning the tiny molecular “tools ...
CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) reported new preclinical data from its novel SyNTase gene editing platform for the treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin ...
The race to advance gene editing tech continues, spurred on by starry-eyed Silicon Valley investors, entrepreneurs and even pronatalists. But it is still deeply controversial.
Researchers at Spain’s CNIO have mapped 20,000 distinct DNA repair “scars,” building the first human REPAIRome. This atlas ...
Gene-edited pancreatic cells have been transplanted into a patient with type 1 diabetes for the first time. They produced insulin for months without the patient needing to take immunosuppressants.
PHILADELPHIA — A baby born with a rare and dangerous genetic disease is growing and thriving after getting an experimental gene editing treatment made just for him. Researchers described the case in a ...
Disease-resistant pigs, faster-growing fish and heat-tolerant cows are among a new class of animals that are being genetically engineered for the dining table. Similar meat products could soon be sold ...
Scientists have created gene-edited pigs, goats and cattle to produce sperm with traits such as disease resistance and higher meat quality in what they say is a step towards genetically enhancing ...
The error rate of a promising gene-editing tool can be reduced up to 60-fold by introducing mutations that change where the ...
We’re familiar with lab-grown diamonds, but what about ‘lab-grown hearts’? It might sound like a scene from a science fiction ...
To achieve the European Green Deal's goal of 25% organic agriculture by 2030, researchers argue that new genomic techniques (NGTs) should be allowed without pre-market authorization in organic as well ...
A baby born with a rare and dangerous genetic disease is growing and thriving after getting an experimental gene editing treatment made just for him. CDC stops recommending COVID-19 shots for all, ...
