Last year, a ten-month-old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively ...

What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

Researchers developed a CRISPR and single-molecule microarray test that quantifies Candida auris and detects antifungal resistance in under 40 minutes. The assay provides rapid, precise results from ...

One of the most inherent risks is the risk of damaging healthy genes. This rather brutal issue is step one of risk management. It also means large sequences of amino acids that must be checked, ...

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 ...

VedaBio, a pioneering biotechnology company transforming molecular detection, today announced a non-exclusive license agreement with Mammoth Biosciences, Inc. for the use of select CRISPR-based ...

Chicago-based CRISPR technology company Syntax Bio says it has developed tech that automates the slow, manual process of generating functional cell types, which may usher in a new generation of cell ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...

At stake in the ongoing patent dispute over the gene-editing tool are rights to the most important new biotechnology of the age and credit for inventing it. The CRISPR patents are back in play. On ...

Researchers have developed a technology that delivers RNA to damaged neurons and stimulates regrowth - paving the way for potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and spinal ...

When a neuron in our body gets damaged, segments of RNA produce proteins that can help repair the injury. But in neurological disorders such as ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, or following spinal ...
