Widely used as a genome editing tool, the CRISPR-Cas9 system allows researchers to precisely induce frameshift mutations in specific genes or insert foreign nucleic acid sequences into a cell’s DNA.

One big challenge is the tumor’s structure. It has a dense microenvironment ... powerful gene-editing tool—straight into tumor cells. CRISPR is like a pair of molecular scissors that can ...

A new set of genes that contribute to Parkinson’s disease risk has been identified.

Thanks to CRISPR, medical specialists will soon have unprecedented control over how they treat and prevent some of the most challenging genetic disorders and diseases. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly ...

A team of CiRA researchers has uncovered the crucial role of EIF3D—a protein translational regulator—in primed pluripotency.

Latest study leverages new constructs for nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences to improve editing efficiency in human immune cells.

They use CRISPR-based engineering methods ... The team found that 80% of the stem cells organize themselves into a structure that mimics the most basic form of an embryo after a few days, and ...
