Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends ...

The one-off treatment highlights the promise of a new type of gene editing and the challenges of using it to treat extremely rare genetic diseases. Doctors say they constructed a bespoke gene-editing ...

CRISPR has taken the bioengineering world by storm since its first introduction. From treating sickle cell diseases to creating disease-resistant crops, the technology continues to boast success on ...

CRISPR technology has revolutionized biology, largely because of its simplicity compared to previous gene editing techniques. However, it still takes weeks to learn, design, perform, and analyze ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

Late last year, dozens of researchers spanning thousands of miles banded together in a race to save one baby boy’s life. The result was a world first: a cutting-edge, gene-editing therapy fashioned ...

Bring up germline editing, and most scientists cringe. The idea behind the notorious CRISPR-baby scandal, editing reproductive cells or embryos tinkers with DNA far beyond just the patient—any changes ...

Imagine a future where treating cystic fibrosis is as simple as taking a deep breath. That’s exactly what a team of pediatric physician-scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative ...
