A version of this Priestley Medal address will be presented at the American Chemical Society Spring 2026 meeting ...

CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

Transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a progressive, often fatal disease. Nexiguran ziclumeran (nex-z) is an investigational therapy based on CRISPR-Cas9 (clustered regularly ...

For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this ...

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

Gene editing has enormous potential to help feed the world’s growing population, but it’s currently difficult, time-consuming ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...

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 ...

An exon-skipping technique using dual single-guide RNA/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins targeted at 3 novel COL7A1 exons with pathogenic heterozygous mutations achieved exon deletion rates of up to 95%.
