Earlier CRISPR treatments require removal of a participant’s cells, a complex and costly approach.

A new preprint on bioRxiv describes a way to use CRISPR to kill cancer cells by reading the RNA they produce. Many cancers start with mutations in tumor suppressor proteins, the proteins that normally stop cells from growing out of control.…

Over the past decades CRISPR, short for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats”, has become somewhat of a household name, holding the promise of directly addressing …

In early results from our new life sciences research lab, Claude agents found an enzyme system whose function is still unknown.

Intellia Therapeutics said its Crispr-based treatment for hereditary angioedema met its goals in a Phase 3 trial, marking a milestone for gene editing.

Dr. Swee Lay Thein and Dr. Stuart Orkin won the $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for their work toward a functional cure for the deadly blood disorders sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia.

A fresh approach to trialling treatments for rare genetic diseases could make their production an economically viable prospect at last. A fresh approach to trialling treatments for rare genetic diseases could make their production an economically viable…
