CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing holds immense potential in the field of precision medicine for liver diseases. This innovative technology permits researchers to precisely modify genes linked to liver ...

A research team has established a CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system for Chrysanthemum morifolium, targeting the CmPDS gene to explore gene functions and enhance breeding. By combining transient and ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...

Enveloped viruses get their outer coat by budding from cells they've invaded. CRISPR-Cas9 researchers coopted this behavior to produce envelope-derived vehicles that encapsulate Cas9 proteins (dark ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...

Hybrid seed production is vital for enhancing crop yield and quality, yet conventional methods in rapeseed are limited by inefficiency and high ...

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: VRTX) announced today a reimbursement agreement with the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) for eligible transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT) and severe sickle ...

For a decade, leading academic institutes and their associated companies fought a bruising, headline-grabbing fight over who held patent rights to CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary genome editing tool.
