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

Exagamglogene autotemcel (exa-cel), a CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited cell therapy, eliminated vaso-occlusive crises in 97% of ...

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they'd stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
