Australian cancer researchers are the first to establish a next-generation gene-editing tool for modeling and interrogating human disease.

Charity organisation Sickle Cell Society has described the recommendation as a “major breakthrough” for sickle cell patients.

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

"This type of gene editing should also allow for the treatment of diseases whose origin is not genetic or whose origin cannot ...

The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

In a Phase I/II trial, patients with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease will receive a treatment created using a new ...

This is a useful study that seeks to address the role of the TET family of DNA demethylation enzymes in pancreatic beta cell senescence in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although the concepts ...

It's clear though that these companies need time. Even with the only approved CAS9 based treatment out there, CRISPR is still years away from achieving its potential. In a recent update to ...

These patterns are the basis of a primitive immune system that bacteria use to ‘remember’ the DNA of viral invaders by incorporating the DNA sequence of the virus within the CRISPR patterns. The Cas9 ...

Gene editing involves changing the sequence of DNA using specific ... Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, and Cas9 (which stands for CRISPR- associated Protein 9) cuts DNA strands at a specific ...
