Professor Jennifer Doudna, one the pioneers of Crispr-Cas9 gene editing explains how this important discovery enables precise changes to our DNA , which can be used to correct mutations that cause ...
Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...
A major medical milestone took place in May 2025, when doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia used CRISPR-based gene editing to treat a child with a rare genetic disorder. Unlike earlier ...
The CRISPR gene editing system holds tremendous promise. It has already revolutionized biomedical research by making gene editing a straightforward process. It involves using a guide RNA molecule that ...
Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...
A handful of start-up firms are testing therapies that target specific epigenetic markers to treat everything from high ...
NEW ORLEANS, LA—An investigational CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing therapy that targets angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3), which has a role in regulating lipid metabolism, appears to safely lower levels ...
In a 15-patient, Phase 1, first-in-human trial, a one-time CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing therapy safely reduced LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in people with difficult-to-treat lipid disorders, ...
Gene editing donor organs during machine perfusion could rescue more than 28,000 organs discarded annually in the US, per a ...
Cardiovascular diseases could be among the world’s first medical conditions to be treated by changing a patient’s genes. If ongoing phase 3 trials succeed, gene editing will offer a novel therapy for ...
