Microbiologist John van der Oost of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) has received an ERC Proof of Concept grant to further develop a promising CRISPR-based approach to cancer treatment. With ...

CREME is a virtual laboratory that allows scientists to simulate specific decreases in gene activity. It offers a powerful new tool for identifying and understanding important parts of the genome. And ...

Originally developed for gene editing, CRISPR-Cas systems have now become powerful molecular diagnostic tools. However, their widespread adoption in diagnostics has relied heavily on traditional ...

The hold followed Intellia’s voluntary pause in response to a grade 4 liver event—a case of Hy’s Law—in the ATTR-CM trial.

Scientists achieved a genetic breakthrough by removing an extra human chromosome using gene-editing technology. This landmark study successfully deleted the surplus chromosome 21 responsible for Down ...

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this mechanism, ...

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...

Intellia is instituting new safeguards following the death of a study participant that led regulators to pause two trials in ...

New research has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the buildup of a toxic protein that is a ...

For the first time, the tools to rewrite human biology are moving from speculative fiction into regulated clinics and ...
