A research team has discovered an enhanced CRISPR gene-editing system that could enable targeted delivery inside the human body—a key step toward broader clinical use. Researchers identified a ...
Almost as soon as researchers started exploring the capabilities of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, they recognized its potential use in targeted gene editing. But the intervening decades have seen slow ...
New results from a clinical trial show promising outcomes for a gene-edited treatment for severe sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder with few curative options. After research conducted as ...
Gene editing tools are powering new innovation in the plant sciences world, but that brings new considerations of intellectual property and regulatory risks. Ever since powerful new gene editing tools ...
A new method for safely inserting large chunks of DNA into genomes has now measured up in mice, potentially paving the way for the next generation of gene editing medicines. The approach, which is ...
CRISPR Therapeutics' gene-editing platform looks fairly promising, but plenty of challenges could sink the stock. Vertex Pharmaceuticals has a robust underlying business along with some exposure to ...
