Researchers identified AlCas12a, a compact, versatile enzyme that improves CRISPR gene editing and enables faster molecular ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

For decades, high cholesterol has meant a lifetime of daily pills, repeat blood tests and constant reminders that the biggest ...

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...

A generation ago, writing a piece like this about using artificial intelligence to develop genome-editing medicines would have sounded like a Star Trek plotline. But both fields have matured to the ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...

A single infusion of an experimental gene-editing drug appears safe and effective for cutting cholesterol, possibly for life, according to a small early study released Saturday. The study, which ...

A team of researchers at the Broad Institute, led by gene-editing pioneer David Liu, has developed a new genome-editing strategy that could potentially lead to a one-time treatment for multiple ...

Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark successful gene edits. Green dots show a fluorescent protein tag on the surface of mitochondria.

Gene therapy approaches include gene replacement, suppression, and editing, each matched to specific genetic mechanisms in hereditary hearing loss. Preclinical studies in rodent models show promise, ...
