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 ...
Caribou Biosciences’ 2025 outlook aimed for key trial readouts for two cancer cell therapies in the first half of the year and the start of clinical testing in an autoimmune disease. The CRISPR ...
Most current approaches rely on adding nuclear localization signal (NLS) motifs to the ends of Cas9 to facilitate nuclear entry. However, this method is inefficient, and much of the Cas9 that is ...
A gene called SDR42E1 has been identified as a key player in how our bodies absorb and process vitamin D. Researchers found that disabling this gene in colorectal cancer cells not only crippled their ...
In a study published in Nature Communications titled “Construction of multi-targeted CRISPR libraries in tomato to overcome functional redundancy at genome-scale level,” researchers from Tel Aviv ...
Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By ...
Dr. Musunuru and Dr. Ahrens-Nicklas holding KJ post infusion Senior Correspondent Gene therapy has always held enormous promise to correct genetic diseases, but turning that potential into treatments ...
-Initial CTX310™ Phase 1 clinical data demonstrates dose-dependent decreases in triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), with peak reduction of up to 82% in TG and up to 81% in LDL, with ...
Natural killer (NK) cells became markedly better at killing cancer cells after scientists removed key gene targets identified through a new genome-wide CRISPR screening tool, according to new research ...
