A company’s plan to edit the genomes of human embryos worries some researchers — but it might reflect the changing attitudes towards the controversial approach.
Most current approaches rely on adding nuclear localization signal (NLS) motifs to the ends of Cas9 to facilitate nuclear entry. However, this method is inefficient, and much of the Cas9 that is ...
Researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST and the Center for Genomic Integrity at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have announced an advance in cancer gene therapy. Their ...
Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...
When the gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 rocketed to fame more than a decade ago, it transformed biotechnology. Faster, cheaper, and safer than previous methods, the tool helped scientists gain insight ...
In December 2020, the New England Journal of Medicine published a paper titled CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing for Sickle Cell Disease and β-Thalassemia, marking an exciting new chapter in the treatment of ...
