A permanent cure for HIV infection remains elusive due to the virus’s ability to hide away in latent reservoirs. But now, in new research published in print May 3 in the journal Molecu... Read more
In mouse models, advanced gene editing tool reprogrammed photoreceptor rods to mutation-resistant cones Using the gene-editing tool CRISPR/Cas9, researchers at University of California San D... Read more
IBS study proves that CRISPR-Cas9 can be delivered directly into the eye of living animals to treat age-related macular degeneration efficiently and safely. It is estimated that almost one i... Read more
Researchers have discovered a way to program cells to inhibit CRISPR-Cas9 activity. “Anti-CRISPR” proteins had previously been isolated from viruses that infect bacteria, but now... Read more
A team of physicians and laboratory scientists has taken a key step toward a cure for sickle cell disease, using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to fix the mutated gene responsible for the disease... Read more
For (probably) the first time ever, plants modified with the “genetic scissors” CRISPR-Cas9 has been cultivated, harvested and cooked. Stefan Jansson, professor in Plant Cell and Molecular B... Read more

Gene-editing technique to treat lung cancer is due to be tested in people in August Chinese scientists are on the verge of being first in the world to inject people with cells modified using... Read more
The emerging science of gene drives has the potential to address environmental and public health challenges, but gene-drive modified organisms are not ready to be released into the environme... Read more
Here’s a question that occurs only to madmen and geneticists: How do you get a gene that kills an organism to spread through a whole population of that organism? You can either make your gen... Read more
Technique may open doors to new treatments for many conditions, from cancer to autism The genetic code stored in DNA determines everything from the color of our eyes to our susceptibility to... Read more
The recent discovery of the first male-determining factor in mosquitoes, combined with the gene-editing capabilities of the CRISPR-Cas9 system, could be used to bias mosquito populations fro... Read more
New delivery method boosts efficiency of CRISPR genome-editing system The genome-editing technique known as CRISPR allows scientists to clip a specific DNA sequence and replace it with a new... Read more
Plant, yeast, even mammalian cells could be engineered into living detectors of virtually any molecule of interest to improve environmental monitoring, metabolic production of pharmaceutical... Read more
Mass. General team develops improved version of important gene-editing tool A new engineered version of the gene-editing CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease appears to robustly abolish the unwanted, off-ta... Read more
If efficiently and safely scaled up in DMD patients, this technique could lead to one of the first successful genome editing-based treatments for this fatal disease, researchers said. DMD, t... Read more
