Researchers engineered and screened dozens of base editors to precisely target a single mutation without editing other portions of the DNA.
Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By ...
Gene-edited pancreatic cells have been transplanted into a patient with type 1 diabetes for the first time. They produced insulin for months without the patient needing to take immunosuppressants.
Editor’s Note: This story was written during the 2023-2024 school year in April. At Abilene High School, science instructors move the needle from simply learning what has already occurred in the field ...
Researchers have unveiled a new type of nanostructure that dramatically improves CRISPR delivery. Called lipid nanoparticle ...
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing has made possible a multitude of biomedical experiments including studies that systematically turn off genes in cancer cells to look for ones that the cancer cells heavily ...
In a quiet lab in Bayreuth, Germany, a team of researchers has achieved what has long eluded geneticists: modifying the genome of a spider to create a living organism capable of producing fluorescent ...
A study, published in the journal Frontiers in Genome Editing, outlines a method for editing single plant cells from sterile ...
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...
