On June 28, 2012, the most significant scientific breakthrough of the first quarter of the 21st century was announced to the ...

One of the most revolutionary tools in cutting-edge medicine is a molecular scalpel so precise that it can modify defective DNA and fix genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia, and chronic disorders ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

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 ...

Martin Kampmann’s work, supported by the National Institutes of Science (NIH), maps cellular “decision points” that determine ...

CRISPR is already known for its power as a gene-editing tool that could one day transform how we fight cancer and other life-threatening diseases. But CRISPR's potential is broader than that — and a ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

After Intellia Therapeutics paused a pair of phase 3 trials for its CRISPR therapy in response to a liver safety signal, the ...

Intellia Therapeutics has paused dosing in its Phase 3 MAGNITUDE trials after a patient experienced severe liver toxicity, as ...
