The biotech startup Inscripta is attempting to “democratize” CRISPR by offering it to select researchers at no cost, according to Fortune. Here are four things to know about the startup’s business ...
Discover how scientists are harnessing the power of CRISPR to precisely edit DNA, revolutionizing medicine and ethics as they rewrite the very code of life. Pixabay, PublicDomainPictures CRISPR ...
Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...
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 major medical milestone took place in May 2025, when doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia used CRISPR-based gene editing to treat a child with a rare genetic disorder. Unlike earlier ...
The CRISPR gene-editing tool can be used to silence an important hepatitis B virus gene, a proof-of-concept in vitro study suggests. "It's the first time we've seen CRISPR editing done in a hepatitis ...
In the five years since Italy-based Chiesi Group established its rare disease division in Boston, the unit has landed regulatory approvals worldwide for 10 therapies — all small molecules and ...
Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), of an organism.
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 ...
