CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a gene-editing technology that allows scientists to modify DNA with unprecedented precision. Discovered in the early 2010s, CRISPR ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR RNA-guided cleavage. Type V CRISPR-Cas (Cas12) systems, in particular, ...

Illustration of spherical nucleic acid SNA nanoparticle carrying CRISPR cargo – Image by the Mirkin Research Group University scientists in Chicago have developed a new nanostructure that triples ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool to help scientists better plan gene-editing experiments. The technology, CRISPR-GPT, acts as a gene-editing "copilot" ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

CRISPR Therapeutics is the first company to secure an FDA approval of a gene-editing drug. That drug's underlying science, however, could be used to create treatments for any number of genetically ...

CRISPR Therapeutics’ gene-editing treatments are highly customized and shockingly expensive. The market is watching to see if the underlying science can be applied to treat many diseases. The company ...

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, ...

KJ Muldoon recently made history by becoming the first patient to receive a personalized CRISPR gene therapy, designed specifically for the genetic mutations causing his rare metabolic disease. Now, a ...

CRISPR Therapeutics is a biotech company that borrows its name from the groundbreaking gene editing technology CRISPR. As of last year, the company has earned FDA approval for a CRISPR-based treatment ...
