potentially first- and best-in-class cell and gene therapies with its proprietary ARCUS gene-editing platform, which is derived from a small, naturally occurring DNA-editing nuclease. Precision ...

In this week’s edition of the biotech bi-weekly, learn more about Thermo Fisher’s new system for automating complex sample ...

Gene editing is at the centre of the next generation of biotechnology. By changing the messages encoded within DNA sequences, it creates new possibilities for researchers to unravel questions ...

‘Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because ...

A new gene editing technique called prime editing, tested in human and mouse cells, rewrites DNA by only cutting a single strand to add, remove, or replace base pairs. The method may allow researchers ...

Scientists are pushing for reform, arguing that Canada’s law blocks people’s right to benefit from scientific discoveries Ben Schaub “CRISPR” is a powerful gene-editing technology that is ...

Because the genetic underpinnings of Duchenne are known, researchers can devise gene-editing fixes to the problem. Several potential treatments are now being tested in preclinical and clinical studies ...

After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA. However, CRISPR has also been adapted to do other things too, such as turning genes on or off without ...

Vertex has backed out of its in vivo gene editing collaboration with Verve Therapeutics before reaching the clinic. Verve, which attributed Vertex’s action to its changing R&D priorities ...

Arbor Biotechnologies has closed $73.9m in a Series C financing round, earmarked for advancing its gene editing therapeutic ...

CRISPR gene-editing technology offers the possibility of creating disease-resistant species, potentially eliminating deadly infections, saving endangered animals, and even improving global food ...
