Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...

Researchers used CRISPR gene editing to selectively kill cancer cells with amplified oncogenes. In animal and cellular models ...

Last year, a ten-month-old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively cured through the use of CRISPR gene editing technology. But the rollout of ...

(Nanowerk News) The CRISPR-Cas gene scissors offer a wide range of potential applications, from the treatment of genetic diseases to antiviral therapies and diagnostics. However, to safely harness ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

Scientists identify a new CARF effector, Cat1, with a complex structure that depletes a key metabolite, halting viral replication by cutting off its energy supply. (Nanowerk News) Every living ...

Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists ...

CRISPR Therapeutics has begun realizing sales on Casgevy, its first therapy and a joint venture with Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The company has plenty of cash to fund research and development for the ...
