Researchers used CRISPR to change the number of chromosomes in Arabidopsis by fusing chromosome arms, reducing the genome ...

The focus in Alzheimer’s disease has understandably been on anti-amyloid drugs of late but what about CRISPR gene editing, which has taken the drug discovery world by storm? It turns out scientists ...

The immune system plays a crucial role in fighting tumours and metastases. Consequently, it is decisive to conduct cancer research in mouse models with an immune system that is as natural as possible ...

The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tool has changed biomedical research, and has even been used in the clinic in a few cases to treat, or attempt to treat, disease. CRISPR comes from a kind of bacterial ...

Last week I read an article about CRISPR, the latest tool scientists are using to edit DNA. It was a great piece – well researched, beautifully written, factually accurate. It covered some of the ...

(Nanowerk News) The CRISPR-Cas gene scissors offer a wide range of potential applications, from the treatment of genetic diseases to antiviral therapies and diagnostics. However, to safely harness ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure the smallest twists and torques of molecules within milliseconds. The method makes it possible to track the gene recognition of CRISPR-Cas protein ...

(Nanowerk News) For several years now, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors have been causing a sensation in science and medicine. This new tool of molecular biology has its origins in an ancient bacterial ...

In 2016, Trevor Martin, a biology Ph.D. at Stanford, was growing restless. He’d fallen in love with synthetic biology, where discoveries were being made weekly, but was frustrated with the lab’s ...
