CRISPR gene editing has transitioned from a laboratory curiosity to a cornerstone of modern biotechnology, revolutionizing our approach to genetic diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

Scientists have developed a novel gene editing tool that could have vast implications for research and therapeutics. This technology is called STITCHR (site-specific target-primed insertion through ...

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of CRISPR advances is not only correcting single mutations in the lab but ...

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few humans to treat disease. Since its invention, scientists have improved, ...

An infant with a rare metabolic disease became the world’s first patient to be treated with a personalized CRISPR gene-editing treatment in a landmark study between Penn Medicine and the Children’s ...

Scientists achieved a genetic breakthrough by removing an extra human chromosome using gene-editing technology. This landmark study successfully deleted the surplus chromosome 21 responsible for Down ...

Genome editing has advanced at a rapid pace with promising results for treating genetic conditions-but there is always room for improvement. A new paper by investigators from Mass General Brigham ...

At the WIRED Health summit last week, Harvard biochemist and gene-editing pioneer David Liu said that later this year his lab plans to report on a single gene-editing strategy that could treat many ...
