For years, researchers have been trying to figure out how to treat inherited blood disorders like sickle cell disease without ...

Researchers in Lithuania present the molecular structure of a new, more-versatile CRISPR system for gene editing.

A new generation of CRISPR technology developed at UNSW Sydney offers a safer path to treating genetic diseases like sickle ...

In the past, my colleagues and I have created a version of CRISPR that can be controlled using light , which allows precise control of where and when gene editing is performed in cells, and can be ...

The results suggest that lung xenotransplantation could one day become an option, but they also point to how much more work ...

Scientists Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their pioneering work on the gene-editing tool CRISPR. The tool has been used to engineer better ...

Because the underlying dynamics of how the CRISPR/Cas9 system works inside live cells aren’t well understood, some delivery systems and techniques have been more successful than others. In order to ...

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago are the first to describe why CRISPR gene editing sometimes fails to work, and how the process can be made to be much more efficient. CRISPR is a ...

Scientists are researching a medical technique called CRISPR-Cas9 that could allow them to “edit out” bad genes and save millions of lives from diseases.
