We here at STAT cover CRISPR a lot. But it’s not every day we get to cover Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The Rock and the genome-editing technology meet in a new movie, “Rampage,” coming out Friday.

What if a heart attack and lifetime of statin drugs could be avoided with a one-time, two-hour infusion? Kiran Musunuru, a University of Pennsylvania cardiologist and leading gene-editing researcher, ...

A new genome editing technology known as CRISPR has the potential to revolutionize the way scientists study diseases and genetics. “I think it’s a really useful tool for science, in fact it’s sort of ...

Scientists from Kolkata-based Bose Institute have created GlowCas9 -- a CRISPR protein that lights up while performing gene editing -- to help boost treatment of genetic diseases and cancer, said the ...

Genetic mutations can alter how the proteins produced by our genes function and can lead to diseases like cancer. Now researchers have used the gene-editing technology CRISPR/Cas 9 in a less commonly ...

One of the most revolutionary discoveries of the century, the CRISPR gene-editing system is built on a bacterial defense mechanism that allows scientists to make precise edits to DNA. Now scientists ...

In an ongoing clinical trial, researchers are testing whether just one dose of a new gene therapy that might effectively cure human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections is safe in humans. According ...

Katie Pope Kopp went through round after round of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant to treat her non-Hodgkin lymphoma. But nothing could beat it. "I went back to get a PET scan in May of 2020, ...

Researchers used CRISPR to change the number of chromosomes in Arabidopsis by fusing chromosome arms, reducing the genome from ten to eight chromosomes. The plants grew normally but showed reduced ...

Syntax Bio, a synthetic biology company programming the next generation of cell therapies, has published new research in ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Tardigrades are going under the knife. At least their genes are. A ...

New work uses cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools to reveal a gene that's critical to stony corals' ability to build their reef architectures. This research could inform coral conservation ...
