Promising results from a small clinical trial highlight a growing interest in designing gene-editing treatments for common ...

Gene editing techniques, including CRISPR, prime editing, and nucleases, allow scientists to tackle genetic diseases, cancer, ...

Researchers have developed a synthetic regeneration system for genetically editing crops, avoiding the challenging step of ...

A global health group breaks down exactly where the promise lies in using genetically modified mosquitoes to eliminate ...

Mini-kidney organoids have now been grown in a laboratory by using genome editing to re-create human kidney disease in petri dishes. The achievement, believed to be the first of its kind, resulted ...

OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman and his husband are now backing a contentious new venture that intends to use genetic engineering on babies to eliminate inherited diseases. The start-up, Preventive, ...

Insects that feed on starch can find veritable feasts in corn, pea, and bean crops or warehouses. It is no coincidence that the ancestors of these commercial plants developed α-amylase inhibitor ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro proof-of-concept study. Down syndrome is caused by the presence of a third copy of ...

Scientists leveraged plants’ built-in regeneration capacity to grow modified plants in weeks instead of months, offering a ...
