Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

CRISPR gene editing has transitioned from a laboratory curiosity to a cornerstone of modern biotechnology, revolutionizing our approach to genetic diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease ...

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, short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a revolutionary gene-editing tool originally discovered as a bacterial defence mechanism. Scientists have repurposed it ...

CRSP’s main value driver is Casgevy, which was approved for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. It’s a one-time ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 stem‐cell therapy. Unfortunately, Casgevy’s rollout has been slow ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), of an organism. Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive disorder involving amyloid ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...
