Scientists are bringing back long-extinct animals to life, such as an Australian frog, mammoths, and Tasmanian tigers. Read the article to know how they will do it.
Researchers used gene-edited sheep to develop a potential drug treatment for a deadly brain disease that affects children. Read to know more about this finding.
Researchers developed new nanoparticles that could stop the growth and spread of tumors. How can this help in cancer treatment? Read to find know more.
Unexpected results were observed when the social function hormones of mammals were eliminated. Read more about this new CRISPR gene editing experiment and how it contributes to the studies on human's social behaviors.
A new study developed by the innovators of CRISPR-Cas9 presents a new community editing function for the technology, allowing genome modification of various microbes and cells efficiently through a 'shotgun' approach.
Bioengineers reimagine the CRISPR system as a Swiss Army knife by repurposing it to make a mini version for easier cell engineering and gene therapy to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other diverse ailments.
A new study analyzed the correlation between the protein cell p53 gain-of-function and the effects of aneuploidy. It aims to design a drug that can restore the natural function of p53 to suppress cancer.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced its new guidelines for human genome editing that took two years to complete. Despite that, the health agency still believes genetically modified babies are a bad idea.
Aggressive behavior and dominance have often been linked to testosterone. In a new study, gene-editing reveals how genetic structures dictate social status.
Scientists have created pigs, cattle, and goats that act as 'surrogate sires' that can produce sperm that carries only genetic traits from the donor animals.
