1. Amichai Berman (School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at Tel Aviv University), the PhD student leading the research. Researchers: “Genetic editing in crop plants is a complex process. Our ...

Natural Killer (NK) cells are a critical component of the innate immune system and play an essential role in recognizing and eliminating cancer cells. Despite their promise, current NK-based therapies ...

LOGAN, UTAH, USA – Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens’ DNA and ...

In 2020, Jennifer Doudna, Ph.D., received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, CRISPR-Cas9, a method for genome editing. Often referred to as “molecular scissors,” CRISPR cuts DNA at specific locations that ...

A new CRISPR-based tool that is directly used on patients' cancer cells can identify genes and regulatory elements driving acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an aggressive blood cancer affecting the bone ...

Natural killer (NK) cells became markedly better at killing cancer cells after scientists removed key gene targets identified through a new genome-wide CRISPR screening tool, according to new research ...

CRISPR gene editing has revolutionized the field of molecular biology, offering precise, efficient, and versatile tools for genome modification. The technology has rapidly evolved beyond the original ...

As climate pressure mounts, new platforms tackle delivery, regulation, trait stacking, and data bottlenecks limiting agricultural genome editing.

Scientists from Mass General Brigham and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have used CRISPR screens to identify genetic modifications that influence T cell function and survival in cultures and ...

Rice University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based gene activation strategy that boosts mitochondrial production in damaged heart cells, improving cardiac function after heart attacks in both ...
