Cas9 in germline editing presents opportunities for genetic disease correction, alongside risks of off-target effects and ...

Since its discovery in 2011, CRISPR-Cas 9 has revolutionized medicine. One of the companies at the forefront of this revolution is CRISPR Therapeutics. I’ve been a couples therapist for 30 years ...

“These data are consistent with previously reported data from the polyneuropathy arm of the trial and further support and extend early findings that demonstrate the promise of CRISPR Cas-9 based in ...

In a new study, researchers have used the gene-editing technology CRISPR/Cas 9 in a less commonly used way, producing liver cancer tumors to better understand the genetic mutations underlying them.

Key Points: 1. CRISPR/Cas as a Diagnostic Tool The CRISPR/Cas system, known for gene editing, is now revolutionizing molecular diagnostics due to its high specificity and efficiency in recognizing ...

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 ...

CRISPR has the ability to find a specific spot in a strand of DNA and make a cut, add or swap a genetic "letter" or even a word. "It's truly wondrous," said Fyodor Urnov, a gene editor at the ...

In an extraordinary 6,000-word guest editorial in the October 2024 issue of The CRISPR Journal (a sister journal of GEN, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.), Fyodor Urnov, PhD, laid out the ...

CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect bacteria from viruses. Several different types of CRISPR-Cas defense systems are found in bacteria, which differ in their composition and functions. Among them ...
