Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome is a childhood disorder caused by mutations in one of the major architectural proteins of the cell nucleus. In HGPS patients the cell nucleus has dramatically ...
CRISPR-Cas9 is widely used to edit the genome by studying genes of interest and modifying disease-associated genes. However, this process is associated with side effects including unwanted mutations ...
From its opening head-on shot of a family driving down an unlit road to its devastating, confrontational climax, Jafar Panahi ...
Researchers have developed a new "color-coded" genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes.
An important theoretical foundation for stem cell-based gene therapy has been published by scientists. The combination of stem cells and targeted genome editing technology provides a powerful tool to ...
Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute say they developed a technique to predict the exact mutations CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing can introduce to a cell. The team edited 40,000 different pieces of ...
A Penn State-led team of interdisciplinary researchers has developed techniques to improve the efficiency of CRISPR-Cas9, the genome editing technique that earned the Nobel Prize in 2020. While CRISPR ...
Oct. 29 (UPI) --Researchers testing technology to edit DNA during human development -- with the hope of preventing disease -- have found that the process often eliminates an entire section of genetic ...
A new gene editing method to correct a mutation that leads to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has been successful in a mouse model of the condition. Researchers used a technique called ...
A new startup, backed with $43 million in venture investments, aims to develop treatments that could cure inherited diseases with a one-time fix based on a new method of genome editing. The method ...
A new gene editing technique called prime editing, tested in human and mouse cells, rewrites DNA by only cutting a single strand to add, remove, or replace base pairs. The method may allow researchers ...
