But what exactly is a "Crispr baby" anyway? Would you like to be 6 feet tall? Or never bald? The secret to traits like these lies in the 6 billion letters of your genetic code. But there can be ...

Researchers have developed a novel delivery system for sending CRISPR reagents to brain cells, where it performs its gene ...

CRISPR stocks are high risk but hold potential for aggressive investors. CRISPR Therapeutics and its partner Vertex Pharmaceuticals have the only approved CRISPR therapy. Several other biotech ...

But what exactly is a CRISPR baby, anyway? CRISPR is made from specialized proteins and other compounds found in certain bacteria. Normally, these proteins protect the bacteria by destroying enemy ...

CRISPR technology could have momentous effects if it’s used to edit genes that will be inherited by future generations. Researchers and ethicists continue to weigh appropriate guidelines.

the latest shift for a tarantella company that has repeatedly switched direction and leadership since first emerging as one of the first CRISPR biotechs a decade ago. Editas will now focus ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

Could advances in CRISPR technology be the solution? In the last decade, a new immunotherapy tool has entered the clinic. T cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors, known as CAR T ...

CRISPR Therapeutics recently proved it was capable of getting a drug approved. Next, its oncology and cardiovascular disease programs will need to show value. It may soon face some financial ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

In a potential advance for melanoma patients, researchers at ChristianaCare's Gene Editing Institute have used CRISPR gene editing tools to disable a gene mutation often seen in aggressive forms ...
