MIT’s CRISPR sensor detects cancer and HIV for 50 cents and stays effective for two months without refrigeration.

Using an inexpensive electrode coated with DNA, MIT researchers have designed disposable diagnostics that could be adapted to detect a variety of diseases, including cancer or infectious diseases such ...

MIT has developed a DNA sensor that can detect HPV and HIV infections through voltage changes. The sensor is durable and ...

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.

Immunotherapy has emerged as one of the most promising therapeutic strategies in cancer. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) system ...
