After teasing a new regulatory process for personalized genetic medicines at the end of last year, the FDA today unveiled draft guidance for an approval pathway that could see custom CRISPR therapies, ...

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of CRISPR advances is not only correcting single mutations in the lab but ...

CRISPR gene drives bias inheritance in pests, advancing population-level control while raising questions about resistance and ecological governance.

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 ...

A new CRISPR-based tool that is directly used on patients' cancer cells can identify genes and regulatory elements driving ...

Gene editing figures to be part of the future of medicine, but a popular system for it has some room for improvement, researchers say. That’s why a team from UC San Diego in La Jolla set out with Yale ...

Aurora Therapeutics, cofounded by Nobel Prize–winning scientist Jennifer Doudna, plans to use gene editing and a new FDA regulatory pathway to commercialize treatments for rare diseases. Last February ...

Aurora Therapeutics' first target is the rare inherited disease phenylketonuria, also known as PKU. Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013 ...
