William Peranteau is the guy parents call when they’ve received the kind of bad news that sinks stomachs and wrenches hearts. Sometimes it’s a shadow on an ultrasound or a few base pairs out of place ...

Researchers at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine have developed an exosome-based platform, "safeEXO-Cas," that significantly enhances the delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing components ...

A modular cytidine base editor that separates its Cas9 nickase and deaminase produced fewer unwanted DNA changes in moss and ...

Figma, the interface design app with real-time collaboration chops, is adding a new tool to its arsenal today. It’s called Components, and the idea is to make it much easier to replicate and modify ...

Prime editing can potentially repair the vast majority of known disease-causing human mutations, but the technology, first developed in 2019, has not yet been widely used in the body, or in vivo, to ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach of genome editing to repair muscle stem (satellite) cells, offering new hope for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treatment. While adeno-associated virus ...

Prime editing uses CRISPR-guided reverse transcription to enable the programmable introduction of any desired base substitution or small insertion or deletion. One challenge for using prime editing ...

New gene editing techniques, like adenine base editing and prime editing, are creating new possibilities for treating dilated cardiomyopathy, a heart condition affecting about 1 in 250 people ...
