Qi and his colleagues used their technology, which they are calling CRISPR-TO, to screen dozens of pieces of RNA and see if any of them would help neurons to grow. They added CRISPR-TO to mouse ...

When a neuron in our body gets damaged, segments of RNA produce proteins that can help repair the injury. But in neurological disorders such as ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, or following spinal ...

CRISPR is being used in an experimental effort to eliminate the virus that causes AIDS. The gene-editing technology CRISPR has been used to change the genes of human babies, to modify animals, and ...

A new generation of CRISPR technology developed at UNSW Sydney offers a safer path to treating genetic diseases like sickle cell, while also proving beyond doubt that chemical tags on DNA—often ...

Although Crispr-related medical breakthroughs are currently attracting fervent attention, Doudna suspects that the technology will break through on a mass scale outside of the health care world.

CRISPR has the potential to modify these products’ negative characteristics to make both varieties appetising to consumers. Technology can also help increase product shelf-life, appealing to most ...

Proteins produced by RNA segments can aid in the repair of damaged neurons in human bodies. However, in neurological conditions like ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, or after spinal cord injuries, the ...

CRISPR gene editing technology has been heralded as a revolutionary breakthrough in drug development, enabling scientists to potentially cure genetic diseases by modifying the genes that cause them.

You've probably heard about the gene-editing technology CRISPR. The massive biotech breakthrough, which has emerged in the last decade, has mainly been touted for the ways it will let scientists edit ...
