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 ...

I was born in Washington, DC, in 1964, the oldest of three sisters, but the place that truly formed me as a scientist was Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Growing up there, far from the mainland ...

Scientists are testing an entirely new way to fight heart disease: a gene-editing treatment that might offer a one-time fix for high cholesterol.

Scientists are testing an entirely new way to fight heart disease: whether gene editing might offer a one-time fix for high cholesterol.

Gene editing is a numbers game. For any genetic tweaks to have notable impact, a sufficient number of targeted cells need to have the disease-causing gene deleted or replaced. Despite a growing ...

Crispr’s ability to cut genetic code like scissors has just started to turn into medicines. Now, gene editing pioneer Jennifer Doudna wants to build an entire ecosystem to bring these treatments ...

Gene therapy and gene editing are marvels of modern biotechnology, providing revolutionary techniques for fixing genetic abnormalities. Gene therapy introduces functional genetic material to treat ...

Growing revenues from Casgevy will help CRISPR Therapeutics fund the development of its pipeline therapies. The gene-editing biotech isn't profitable yet. CRISPR Therapeutics has a deep pipeline of ...
