A new set of genes that contribute to Parkinson’s disease risk has been identified.

Thanks to CRISPR, medical specialists will soon have unprecedented control over how they treat and prevent some of the most challenging genetic disorders and diseases. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly ...

For the first time, Professor Veyrier and his team at INRS have discovered a family of enzymes that can cut specific sequences in single-stranded DNA. These enzymes, called site-specific ...

CRISPR wasn't used for cancer because it was assumed that knocking out a single gene wouldn't topple the whole structure. We ...

CRISPR and Vertex's two phase 1/2 studies in thalassaemia and SCD – called CLIMB-111 and CLIMB-211, respectively – have now recruited 19 patients. They are due to enrol 45 apiece, and are ...

Widely used as a genome editing tool, the CRISPR-Cas9 system allows researchers to precisely induce frameshift mutations in specific genes or insert foreign nucleic acid sequences into a cell’s DNA.

They use CRISPR-based engineering methods ... The team found that 80% of the stem cells organize themselves into a structure that mimics the most basic form of an embryo after a few days, and ...
