Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

In a recent study, researchers manipulated cellular proteins that control genes in aged mice. Experimental results showed their livers were rejuvenated to younger states. This work shows promise as a ...

The onset and aggressiveness of cancer are related to the abnormal behavior of certain genes, known as oncogenes. The ...

Peter Mac scientists have found a way to use the powerful gene editing tool CRISPR to silence cancer-causing gene mutations which, up to now, have remained off-limits to targeted drugs. Dr. Mohamed ...

A popular gene-editing technique may unintentionally delete and rearrange DNA bases, according to a new study published in Nature Biotechnology. The study involves the use of CRISPR-Cas9, a system ...

A new technique brings CRISPR-mediated gene editing together with spatial transcriptomics and imaging to study the ...

The hold followed Intellia’s voluntary pause in response to a grade 4 liver event—a case of Hy’s Law—in the ATTR-CM trial.

Melissa B. Davis uses CRISPR screening to better understand how cancer affects underrepresented populations and find new potential therapeutic targets.

Last year, a ten-month-old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively ...

Two studies published in Nature Medicine June 11 contribute to a small body of literature suggesting cells edited with CRISPR-Cas9 may cause cancer. Here are five things to know about the studies and ...

In nature, the best-known CRISPR system, CRISPR-Cas9, cuts any RNA or DNA it recognizes as foreign, and thereby protects bacteria from viral attacks. Another CRISPR system, one that is relatively ...

Updated at 4:05 p.m. ET For the first time, doctors in the U.S. have used the powerful gene-editing technique CRISPR to try to treat a patient with a genetic disorder. "It is just amazing how far ...
