Researchers have been able to manipulate large chunks of genetic code for almost 50 years. But it is only within the past decade that they have been able to do it with exquisite precision – adding, ...

Over the past two decades, the immune system has attracted increasing attention for its role in fighting cancer. As researchers have learned more and more about the cancer-immune system interplay, ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

Martin Kampmann’s work, supported by the National Institutes of Science (NIH), maps cellular “decision points” that determine ...

This article was written for our sponsor, Innovation Road Trip. Eradication of certain diseases, increasing crop sizes, reducing pest populations — the current and future applications of CRISPR have ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

We here at STAT cover CRISPR a lot. But it’s not every day we get to cover Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The Rock and the genome-editing technology meet in a new movie, “Rampage,” coming out Friday.

When the genome-editing tool CRISPR is thought of as a potential medicine, the targets that first come to mind are diseases like sickle cell or other conditions caused by particular mutations. Use ...

St. Georges Technical High School students using CRISPR in a Box. On Friday, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a sickle cell disease drug called Casgevy, co-developed by Vertex ...
