At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this mechanism, ...

At the end of 2023, the FDA approved Casgevy for sickle cell disease, its first approval for a therapeutic that used the genome editing tool clustered regulatory interspaced palindromic repeats ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), of an organism.

Membrane-derived particles cloaked in membrane fragments can deliver CRISPR genome editing tools to specific cells for complex genome engineering inside the body. Scientists in the lab of Nobel Prize ...

Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...
