Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base ...

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

"Traditional gene-editing technologies work best with single mutations and are expensive to optimize, so gene therapies tend to focus on the mutations that are the most common," Buffington said. "But ...

Cardiovascular diseases could be among the world’s first medical conditions to be treated by changing a patient’s genes. If ongoing phase 3 trials succeed, gene editing will offer a novel therapy for ...

Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark successful gene edits. Green dots show a fluorescent protein tag on the surface of mitochondria.

The world watched on in awe as teams successfully administered a personalized gene therapy to infant KJ Muldoon ("Baby KJ"). This extraordinary achievement reignited public and scientific excitement ...

Scientists at Texas A&M are turning an everyday pick-me-up into a high-tech medical switch. By combining caffeine with CRISPR gene editing, researchers have created a system that allows cells to be ...

A group of scientists led by Dieter Egli has demonstrated base editing in human embryos. Base editing was shown to precisely edit embryonic DNA but also resulted in off-target edits and mosaicism.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. A patient in a late-stage gene editing trial for a rare heart condition died from fatal liver complications after receiving an ...
