In just a decade, CRISPR has become one of the most celebrated inventions in modern biology. It is swiftly changing how medical researchers study diseases: Cancer biologists are using the method ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

The first human trial in the United States to test CRISPR gene editing technology started back in 2019. The trial focused on two rare blood diseases: beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease.

It’s been a monumental year for Crispr, the molecular tool scientists use to edit genetic material. This November, the United Kingdom authorized the first medical treatment using Crispr gene ...

By her 30s, Gray required in-home care. So, when she was offered the chance to become the first person to receive an experimental CRISPR gene-editing treatment, she took it. Today, four years ...

A therapy based on the CRISPR–Cas9 genome-editing system could become the first of its kind to gain approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. But the treatment — designed to alleviate ...

The most well-known is CRISPR-Cas9, adapted for human use as the first FDA-approved genetic editing technique. In the past year, researchers at Rockefeller's Laboratory of Bacteriology ...

CRISPR technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach medicine. This technology has already been used in a variety of applications, including gene editing, gene therapy, and ...

Terry Horgan, the 27-year-old patient who died eight days after receiving a CRISPR therapy custom-built for him, likely suffered a fatal innate immune response to the virus used to deliver the ...

Collaborating with CRISPR-Cas9 co-inventor Jennifer Doudna and Jill Banfield at UC Berkeley, Steven Jacobsen, a distinguished professor of molecular, cell and developmental biology at UCLA ...
