Germline gene editing — like Jiankui performed — alters the genetic code of not just an individual, but of every child, grandchild and great-grandchild the individual has. While somatic gene editing, ...

Recently approved gene therapies offer patients one-time, potentially curative treatments for genetic diseases such as sickle ...

Unlike so-called somatic gene editing, where one type of cell or tissue (the one where a mutation is wreaking the most havoc and causing disease) is targeted for modification, editing an embryo ...

Around 2018–19, there was not a bigger science and ethical story than the debate over heritable human genome editing (HHGE) and the scandal over the “CRISPR babies.” The scientist, He ...

Genome editing has advanced at a rapid pace with promising results for treating genetic conditions -- but there is always room for improvement. A new paper showcases the power of scalable protein ...

To investigate how Cas9 gene editing affected T cells ... Tsuchida and his colleagues used CRISPR-Cas9 to edit multiple genes on every somatic chromosome. They found that chromosome loss occurred for ...

Pioneering research led by the University of Bristol has repurposed a gene-editing tool to help shed light on the true ...

Somatic gene therapy of many inborn errors of metabolism may require placement of recombinant genes into liver cells in order to provide substrates and cofactors for holoenzyme activity.

Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies,” said Colossal CEO Ben Lamm in a statement that accompanied the announcement of the ...
