The development of gene editing tools, which enable the specific targeting and correction of mutations, hold the promise of allowing us to correct those mutations that cause genetic diseases. However, ...

Researchers have successfully develop single-atom editing technology that maximizes drug efficacy. In pioneering drug development, the new technology that enables the easy and rapid editing of key ...

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this mechanism, ...

The practice of genetic modification is as old as humanity. For thousands of years, humans have bred crops, livestock and even pets that possess desirable traits. This selective process, which alters ...

Adenosine base editing restarted fetal hemoglobin expression in cells from patients with sickle cell disease. Gene therapy that alters hemoglobin genes may be an answer to curing sickle cell disease ...
