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, and more. Researchers increasingly apply these techniques to study and ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A new regulatory framework, which allows the commercial cultivation of gene-edited crops in England, has cleared its final ...

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, ...

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