Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...

When the gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 rocketed to fame more than a decade ago, it transformed biotechnology. Faster, cheaper, and safer than previous methods, the tool helped scientists gain insight ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...

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 ...

Revolutions in gene therapy are rapidly changing the landscape of modern medicine. Revolutions in gene therapy are rapidly changing the landscape of modern medicine, forcing society and science alike ...

Scientists are testing an entirely new way to fight heart disease: a gene-editing treatment that might offer a one-time fix for high cholesterol.

Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark successful gene edits. Green dots show a fluorescent protein tag on the surface of mitochondria.

Instead of requiring personalized gene edits for each patient, the new approach could create a standardized method to use for many diseases. By Pam Belluck and Carl Zimmer Gene-editing therapies offer ...
