Most approved gene therapies today, including those involving CRISPR-Cas9, work their magic on cells removed from the body, after which the edited cells are returned to the patient. This technique is ideal for targeting blood cells and is currently the ...

Humans have long experimented with nature, bending evolution to serve aesthetics, science, and curiosity. Some animals have been transformed so drastically that they seem more like art or engineering than life itself.

The practice of genetic modification is as old as humanity. For thousands of years, humans have bred crops, livestock and even pets that possess desirable traits. This selective process, which alters an offspring’s genome, began long before anyone knew ...

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 rewrite the genetic code underlying countless diseases ...

CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) just announced that its SyNTase gene editing technology will be featured in an oral presentation at the ESGCT 2025 Congress. This marks the first major public unveiling of SyNTase preclinical data and could put a spotlight on the ...

These horses might look like ordinary horses, but there is something highly unusual about their genomes. They are the first of their species to have their DNA edited using CRISPR–Cas9, a technique that cuts the genome at a specific location to change ...
