A miracle baby who was treated with a pioneering gene-therapy at CHOP has reached a major milestone as he took his first ...
CRISPR is one of the most revolutionary technologies of the modern era, and now it's being used to bring back long-lost genes ...
Researchers have used CRISPR to switch back on a gene that vanished from the human lineage roughly 20 million years ago, reviving a natural defense against excess uric acid that our ancestors once ...
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 ...
Dr. Mark Pennesi looks on as staff at school's Casey Eye Institute perform the first-ever in vivo CRISPR gene edit procedure for the BRILLIANCE clinical trial in Portland. Kristyna Wentz-Graff/OHSU ...
Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted ...
Investigators have developed STITCHR, a new gene editing tool that can insert therapeutic genes into specific locations without causing unwanted mutations. The system can be formulated completely as ...
The CRISPR gene-editing tool can be used to silence an important hepatitis B virus gene, a proof-of-concept in vitro study suggests. "It's the first time we've seen CRISPR editing done in a hepatitis ...
In a cutting-edge medical experiment, a small group of people who had high cholesterol despite taking conventional drugs to lower it saw significant reductions in two major risk factors for heart ...
A single infusion of an experimental gene-editing drug appears safe and effective for cutting cholesterol, possibly for life, according to a small early study released Saturday. The study, which ...
