In a major step forward for cancer care, researchers at ChristianaCare's Gene Editing Institute have shown that disabling the NRF2 gene with CRISPR technology can reverse chemotherapy resistance in ...

NEW ORLEANS, LA—An investigational CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing therapy that targets angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3), which has a role in regulating lipid metabolism, appears to safely lower levels ...

Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibits lipoprotein and endothelial lipases. ANGPTL3 loss-of-function genetic variants are associated with decreased levels of low-density lipoprotein ...

In today's hyper-connected world, cyber threats are more sophisticated and frequent than ever - ransomware attacks, data breaches, social engineering scams, and advanced persistent threats targeting ...

The evolutionary blueprint for hands was borrowed in part from a much older genetic plan for our nether regions, a new study suggests. Researchers armed with CRISPR looked to the embryos of zebrafish ...

Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, revolutionizing the ability to edit genes and ...

A research team headed by the University of Zurich has developed a powerful new method to precisely edit DNA by combining cutting-edge genetic engineering with artificial intelligence. The work has ...

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 ...

CRISPR Therapeutics’ gene-editing treatments are highly customized and shockingly expensive. The market is watching to see if the underlying science can be applied to treat many diseases. The company ...
