CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is an advanced technology developed in 2012 that can be used to edit genes. It can be used to find specific DNA sequences ...

Could advances in CRISPR technology be the solution? In the last decade, a new immunotherapy tool has entered the clinic. T cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors, known as CAR T ...

Now, a new CRISPR-based test has been developed to diagnose PJP more quickly and less invasively. Tulane University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based test that diagnoses Pneumocystis ...
