Scientists from Zhejiang University have developed a novel delivery vehicle for CRISPR-Cas9 that is more effective than lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) in treating lung cancer. Rapid liquid nitrogen ...

When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to a cell along with a piece of guide RNA, the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a ...

Here’s how it works. CRISPR, short for CRISPR-Cas9, is a genome-editing tool that allows scientists to precisely cut and modify DNA sequences. It has revolutionized the study of genes ...

The CRISPR-Cas9 patent landscape remains complex and unsettled. The Federal Circuit’s latest decision in University of California v.

Deanna earned their PhD in cellular biology from McGill University in 2020 and has a professional background in medical writing. They are an associate science editor at The Scientist. View Full ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

Today, CRISPR/Cas9 is successfully adapted for genome editing of various organisms, offering a revolutionary technique for researchers around the world. It offers a number of advantages over other ...

CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology is widely used to to help study genes of interest and modify disease-associated genes. However, the system is associated with adverse effects, including ...

For a decade, leading academic institutes and their associated companies fought a bruising, headline-grabbing fight over who held patent rights to CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary genome editing tool.

For disorders caused by single genetic mutations, like Huntington’s disease and certain forms of Alzheimer’s disease, the delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 to tissues inside the body is a bottleneck.
