A novel CRISPR-based technology can spread within bacterial populations to eliminate antibiotic resistance.

The onset and aggressiveness of cancer are related to the abnormal behavior of certain genes, known as oncogenes. The best-known of these alterations is mutation, but it is not the only one. Sometimes ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism. Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive disorder involving amyloid ...

Menlo Ventures has made a $16 million bet that the “baby KJ” custom CRISPR therapy success story is repeatable. The funding has enabled CRISPR co-inventor Jennifer Doudna, Ph.D., and baby KJ scientist ...

Aurora Therapeutics, cofounded by Nobel Prize–winning scientist Jennifer Doudna, plans to use gene editing and a new FDA regulatory pathway to commercialize treatments for rare diseases. Last February ...

Aurora Therapeutics' first target is the rare inherited disease phenylketonuria, also known as PKU. Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013 ...

I hate to break this to you, but every child is a genetic experiment – and nature doesn’t care if things go wrong. Our genomes are awful messes created by conflicting evolutionary forces, and every ...

CRISPR has incurred nearly $500 million in losses over the past four quarters. It's burning through cash as the result of its its gene-editing therapy's slow rollout. But its development partner, ...

A graphic representation of a round, lumpy, blue protein and a single, comblike, purple strand of RNA interacting with a twisted, double, blue strand of DNA that separates where it meets the RNA. A ...

Staking is one of the most common ways crypto holders earn rewards simply by holding and committing their tokens to a blockchain network. Often described as “earning passive income in crypto,” staking ...

Crops around the world are under pressure from high temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns and disease. Something must be done to protect them. Gene editing in agriculture can make crops more ...
