Gene editing techniques, including CRISPR, prime editing, and nucleases, allow scientists to tackle genetic diseases, cancer, ...

A company’s plan to edit the genomes of human embryos worries some researchers — but it might reflect the changing attitudes towards the controversial approach.

Most current approaches rely on adding nuclear localization signal (NLS) motifs to the ends of Cas9 to facilitate nuclear entry. However, this method is inefficient, and much of the Cas9 that is ...

Seven years after the first gene-edited babies were revealed, biotech startup Manhattan Genomics is reviving the idea of ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from ...

Advances in cancer immunotherapy from immune checkpoint modulation to adoptive cell transfer of tumour-infiltrating ...

Researchers have developed a DNA-based therapy that targets the PCSK9 gene to lower cholesterol naturally. Using polypurine ...

Attempting to cash in on what's likely to be a relatively short-lived mania isn't a good idea for most investors most of the ...

Plants respond to changes in climatic conditions by triggering cellular signals that pass to different parts of the plant that need to adapt, such as the root system. 1 Plant signals, in the form of ...

The CRISPR gene editing system holds tremendous promise. It has already revolutionized biomedical research by making gene editing a straightforward process. It involves using a guide RNA molecule that ...

The evolutionary blueprint for hands was borrowed in part from a much older genetic plan for our nether regions, a new study suggests. Researchers armed with CRISPR looked to the embryos of zebrafish ...
