I’m the first person whose life was saved by CRISPR base editing
When standard leukaemia treatments failed, 13-year-old Alyssa Tapley was told she had only weeks left – but then she was ...
Base editing, the process used to make the changes, only nicks one strand of DNA, avoiding the major DNA errors that made ...
The use of genome editing in early embryos has pulled back the curtain on the role of one of the key genes that orchestrates ...
Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method—CRISPR—sometimes does more harm than good. A new study from University of California San Diego and Yale ...
Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome editing technique ...
Recent biomedical news headlines have exposed the deadly lack of ethics in research involving human embryos. Dr. Dieter Egli, a Columbia University developmental cell biologist, claims his team ...
Emerging gene-editing platforms are demonstrating that disease-causing mutations, aberrant gene expression, and even large-scale DNA insertions can be corrected without relying on error-prone DNA ...
Affecting an estimated 100,000 people globally, cystic fibrosis (CF) cases stem from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. In the past several decades, ...
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 ...
When a rogue researcher in China revealed in 2018 that he had used CRISPR to create three gene-edited children, his actions were almost universally condemned by biologists around the world. The main ...
