The first gene-editing therapies for HIV/Aids are entering trials but the virus is proving once again that it is a master at ...

Like the find-and-replace feature of a word processor, CRISPR-based engineering allows scientists to quickly and efficiently edit DNA sequences with base pair precision. Lauded as the great ...

It’s well known that AD has a strong genetic component. Apolipoprotein E (APOE4) is expressed in 40% to 65% of all AD ...

When UC Berkeley biochemist Jennifer Doudna first began studying how bacteria fight virus infections, she had no idea it ...

Antibiotics usually save lives—but against some bacteria, they can make things worse. That’s the case with the Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli, where bacterial death releases a flood of a ...

Over the past two decades, the immune system has attracted increasing attention for its role in fighting cancer. As researchers have learned more and more about the cancer-immune system interplay, ...

CRISPR has a problem: an embarrassment of riches. Ever since the gene editing system rocketed to fame, scientists have been looking for variants with better precision and accuracy. One search method ...

It acts as a sort of molecular fumigator to battle phages and plasmids. CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA ...

CRISPR Therapeutics AG (CRSP) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to ...
