Microbiologist John van der Oost of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) has received an ERC Proof of Concept grant to further develop a promising CRISPR-based approach to cancer treatment. With ...

CRISPR has revolutionized science. AI is now taking the gene editor to the next level. Despite its real-world impact, CRISPR isn’t perfect. The tool snips both strands of DNA, which can cause ...

In a quiet lab in Bayreuth, Germany, a team of researchers has achieved what has long eluded geneticists: modifying the genome of a spider to create a living organism capable of producing fluorescent ...

What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology ...

Beginning a chain of events that will presumably lead to the origin of our universe's Spider-Man, researchers in Germany have created the world's first spiders to be genetically modified using CRISPR ...

Researchers have successfully resurrected a gene that humanity lost millions of years ago. The results could change how we treat common diseases such as gout and maybe even contribute to slowing down ...

Breast cancer (BC) remains the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, presenting significant challenges due to its high incidence and mortality rates. Traditional treatments, such as ...

The CRISPR tool is capable of repairing the genetic defect responsible for the immune disease chronic granulomatous disease. However, researchers at the University of Zurich have now shown that there ...

This figure illustrates the evolution of CRISPR technology from 1987 to 2019, presented in a horizontal timeline format and categorized into four generations, each denoted by a distinct color: The ...
