Genome engineering may be the future of medicine, but it relies on evolutionary advances made billions of years ago in primordial bacteria, the original masters of gene editing. Modern day genome ...

Researchers mined the molecular foundations of cancer and uncovered a new reason chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T cell therapy) fails in some patients. This discovery has fueled new strategies that ...

Last week I read an article about CRISPR, the latest tool scientists are using to edit DNA. It was a great piece – well researched, beautifully written, factually accurate. It covered some of the ...

It's not easy to treat viral infections. Just ask anyone with a bad cold or a case of the flu. But scientists in Massachusetts think they may have a new way to stop viruses from making people sick by ...

Viruses are terrible houseguests. They expect you to provide all the enzymes and proteins they need to make copies of themselves when they come for a stay in your cells. That leaves little to target ...

KIT researchers succeeded for the first time in reducing the number of chromosomes in a plant using the CRISPR/Cas method – surprisingly without affecting its growth The CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors ...

Scientists have used synthetic biology to create artificial enzymes programmed to target the genetic code of SARS-CoV-2 and destroy the virus, an approach that could be used to develop a new ...

It was only a matter of time. Once genome editing tools established themselves in biomedical science—advancing enterprises such as the development of cell lines, the dissection of disease mechanisms, ...
