The first in-human trial of a CRISPR Cas system delivered by adeno-associated virus 9 gene therapy to treat HIV was able to target only the intended DNA and cleared the blood within 6 months.
CRISPR’s promise of curing diseases hit a setback when researchers discovered that AZD7648, a molecule designed to improve precision, also caused catastrophic hidden damage to DNA. Instead of perfect ...
Genetic modifications in reproductive cells, such as eggs, sperm, or embryos, are commonly referred to as germline editing and are heritable. 1 CRISPR-Cas 9, which stands for clustered regularly ...
Since its discovery in 2011, CRISPR-Cas 9 has revolutionized medicine. One of the companies at the forefront of this revolution is CRISPR Therapeutics. Here is how California Gov. Gavin Newsom plans ...
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 ...
Researchers are further improving CRISPR's versatility to engineer new grasses and yeasts for biochemical production. CRISPR/Cas systems have undergone tremendous advancement in the past decade. These ...
Gene editing in plants remains challenging, with the traditional non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) repair pathway often hindering precision. In this study, researchers advanced CRISPR-Cas-based gene ...
