Here, we walk you through everything you need to know about CRISPR-Cas9, including what it is, how it works, and what we can expect from it in the future. CRISPR-Cas9 is a new technology for ...

CRISPR/Cas9 silences gene associated with high cholesterol Technique allowed researchers to reduce blood cholesterol levels in adult mice for six months following a single treatment Date: April 26 ...

Every living creature on Earth needs to protect itself from things that would do it harm. Bacteria are no different. And ...

We’re talking about an unproven gene-editing technique called CRISPR-Cas9. It sounds like science fiction – until you learn that investors like Google and Bill Gates have contributed millions ...

Schematic of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and its nanotechnology delivery methods. The CRISPR/Cas9 system can be delivered in the forms of DNA, mRNA/sgRNA, or ribonucleoprotein (RNP). The gene editing ...

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 ...

In June 2012, biochemists Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier published a paper describing how CRISPR works as a bacterial immune system. They revealed that Cas9, short for CRISPR ...

Since it burst onto the scene a decade ago, CRISPR-Cas9 has shaken the field of genetics to its core. Offering a new genomic editing tool that’s faster, cheaper and more accurate than previous ...

Subsequently, DNA repair pathways like non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair bring the Cas9 and sgRNA together to ultimately modify the genome. The incorporation of CRISPR ...

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 ...

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved two gene therapies to treat sickle cell disease, one of the which is the first CRISPR/Cas9-based treatment to win regulatory approval in the US.
