Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...

You may have seen it in the news recently: a baby in Pennsylvania with a rare genetic disorder was healed with a personalized treatment that repaired his specific genetic mutation. The treatment was ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital report that they have developed an unbiased, sensitive, and resource-efficient method to identify small, off-target sites that pose a safety risk ...

Beam Therapeutics’ experimental gene-editing therapy for sickle cell disease now has its first cut of patient data showing signs of treating the rare blood disorder in a way that could differentiate ...

Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method — CRISPR — sometimes does more harm than good. A new study from University of California San Diego and Yale ...

Beam Therapeutics has presented the first clinical data on its base editing technology. All four sickle cell disease patients in the efficacy cohort had fetal hemoglobin levels above Beam’s target—and ...
