A small group of experts is currently working hard at a Californian research laboratory. The aim: to develop a pill to block ...

For millions of people who adore cats but are plagued by allergies, the dream of snuggling a furry friend without sneezing ...

The CRISPR-associated (Cas) nuclease, directed by a crRNA, then renders it harmless by cutting it like a pair of scissors. Humans have exploited this strategy: "CRISPR, often referred to as 'gene ...

The CRISPR molecular scissors have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. This is because they can be used to correct specific defective sections of the genome.

While achieving the Nobel Prize spotlight would have been enough to impress, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing is part of a growing list of technologies granted Investigational New Drug (IND) applications ...

Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna leveraged CRISPR into a pair of genetic scissors and showed how sharp they are by proving that they can edit any string of DNA this way. Since Emmanuelle ...

For nearly five years, researchers have been wielding the molecular scissors known as CRISPR/Cas9 to make precise changes in animals’ DNA. But its use in human embryos has more profound ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA with elegant precision. “It’s a completely brand-new type of CRISPR ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA with elegant precision. But it turns out that CRISPR systems have more ...
