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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit.

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of CRISPR advances is not only correcting single mutations in the lab but ...

In the late 2010s eight macaque monkeys were born at a laboratory in Shanghai. At first they seemed much like the other infants in the colony, but differences soon became obvious. They were much more ...

CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is an advanced technology developed in 2012 that can be used to edit genes. It can be used to find specific DNA sequences inside ...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was one of the most serious public health calamities in the last decade, causing global morbidity and mortality in the millions. The emergence of ...
