New results from a clinical trial show promising outcomes for a gene-edited treatment for severe sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder with few curative options. After research conducted as ...
Investigators have developed STITCHR, a new gene editing tool that can insert therapeutic genes into specific locations without causing unwanted mutations. The system can be formulated completely as ...
Volatile macroeconomic events are magnified in life science and healthcare applications, which are capital intensive, long-term investments with associated regulatory, safety, and commercial risks.
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 ...
Scientists have worked tirelessly to develop ever more precise and efficient CRISPR-Cas systems to reach the ultimate goal: safe and effective CRISPR-Cas-based medical treatments. Over the years, ...
Study shows GM gene-edited rice is not “substantially equivalent” to the parental non-edited rice. Report: Claire Robinson and Prof Michael Antoniou ...
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 ...
When applied to human eggs, sperm and embryos, gene-editing technologies, of which CRISPR is the most precise, can alter the ...
