Explore CRISPR technology explained, gene editing science, DNA modification, and genetic engineering ethics—discover how ...

One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. Researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a scalable, non-viral technology that efficiently delivers genetic material into human immune cells. The platform, called ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis ...

Scientists have improved a gene-editing technology that is now capable of inserting or substituting entire genes in the genome in human cells efficiently enough to be potentially useful for ...

Some genetic disorders-such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease-involve many mutations in a person's genome, often with enough variation that even two individuals who share the same ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...

On a special episode (first released on June 20, 2024) of The Excerpt podcast: With the advent of CRISPR as a gene editing technology, there are new opportunities to develop breakthrough treatments ...
