A team of researchers at Columbia, Harvard and University of Minnesota has developed a gene editing technique they say could ...

Innovative delivery techniques, including high-tech nanoparticles and electroporationdevices, may convey more gene therapies into the clinic.

Industrial fermentation using bacteria, yeast and other microbes to produce specific products has the potential to reduce ...

The only gene-editing therapy currently on the market is a CRISPR–Cas9-based treatment for two blood disorders, sickle-cell ...

Using the gene scissors CRISPR and stem cells, researchers at Stockholm University and the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK ...

Researchers at UC Berkeley’s Innovative Genomics Institute, or IGI, developed a revolutionary treatment using CRISPR gene ...

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

CRISPR-Cas9 ... Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the double strand break can result in insertion or deletion mutations, while repair ...

Genetic defects are exceedingly common, which is not surprising considering just how many cells make up our bodies, including our reproductive cells. While most of these defects have no or only ...

BACKGROUND: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is substantially influenced by genetic factors. Sarcomere function is intricately associated with other organelles, particularly the reciprocal regulation ...

The applications did not adequately show possession of an operable CRISPR-Cas9 system in eukaryotic cells, even though they described the core components of the technology. As a result ...
