In the realm of agricultural research, the focus on neglected crops has been comparatively minimal despite their potential to contribute significantly to ...

CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) reported new preclinical data from its novel SyNTase gene editing platform for the treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin ...

A gene-editing therapy led to durable changes in serum transthyretin levels among people with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. Polyneuropathy stages and disability scores were ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool to help scientists better plan gene-editing experiments. The technology, CRISPR-GPT, acts as a gene-editing "copilot" ...

At the WIRED Health summit last week, Harvard biochemist and gene-editing pioneer David Liu said that later this year his lab plans to report on a single gene-editing strategy that could treat many ...

Multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDS) is a rare condition associated with stroke, aortic dissection (tearing) and death in childhood. Currently ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

BUENOS AIRES - They look like ordinary foals, docile with honey brown coats and white facial patches, content to spend their days munching alfalfa in a cordoned-off pasture in rural Buenos Aires ...

CRISPR Therapeutics is the first company to secure an FDA approval of a gene-editing drug. That drug's underlying science, however, could be used to create treatments for any number of genetically ...

Mars Inc. is tapping gene-editing technology that could speed up the development of hardier cocoa plants — part of the company’s efforts to ensure continued supplies of the crucial crop. The maker of ...
