Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...

CRISPR therapy STX-1150 could replace daily cholesterol pills with a single dose, reducing LDL by 50% for 18+ months using ...

Last year, a ten-month-old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively ...

A new CRISPR-based one-off procedure that lowers "bad" cholesterol has been approved to enter Phase I human trial. If ...

Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...

A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.

Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...
