When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have built CRISPR-GPT, a large language model designed to automate the full arc of gene-editing ...

The field of plant biotechnology has quickly evolved with the advent of CRISPR-mediated gene editing, fundamentally transforming the exploration and ...

Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

A Dallas-based biotech company called Colossal Biosciences says it has produced “de-extinct” dire wolf pups using gene-editing technology, but critics argue the animals are genetically modified gray ...

Current shareholders were thrown an unexpected curveball that they actually should have been expecting.

Investigators at CHOP and UPenn found that lower cell counts could still be associated with poor outcomes if the cells were poorly differentiated.

When a cocaine addict relapses, it isn't a matter of personal failure—it's the biological result of their brain's rewiring, new research finds. Michigan State University scientists have found that ...

I was born in Washington, DC, in 1964, the oldest of three sisters, but the place that truly formed me as a scientist was Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Growing up there, far from the mainland ...

Crispr’s ability to cut genetic code like scissors has just started to turn into medicines. Now, gene editing pioneer Jennifer Doudna wants to build an entire ecosystem to bring these treatments ...

In May 2025, the world celebrated the success of KJ, an infant who was treated with the world’s first personalized CRISPR gene editing therapy. KJ was born with severe carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 ...
