Researchers engineered and screened dozens of base editors to precisely target a single mutation without editing other portions of the DNA.

CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing holds immense potential in the field of precision medicine for liver diseases. This innovative technology permits researchers to precisely modify genes linked to liver ...

A research team has established a CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system for Chrysanthemum morifolium, targeting the CmPDS gene to explore gene functions and enhance breeding. By combining transient and ...

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little ...

Hybrid seed production is vital for enhancing crop yield and quality, yet conventional methods in rapeseed are limited by inefficiency and high costs.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, ...

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 ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...
