Active Genetics (Pro-AG) exploits a naturally created bacterial mating tunnel between cells to inactivate antibiotic resistance.

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 ...

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 ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...

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 ...

CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) earns a Hold rating as pipeline breadth grows but CASGEVY's launch remains slow and economically unattractive. CRSP’s in vivo editing platform shows strong early validation, ...

Scientists used CRISPR to disable the NRF2 gene, restoring chemotherapy sensitivity in lung cancer cells and slowing tumor growth. The technique worked even when only a fraction of tumor cells were ...

A major medical milestone took place in May 2025, when doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia used CRISPR-based gene editing to treat a child with a rare genetic disorder. Unlike earlier ...

Discover how scientists are harnessing the power of CRISPR to precisely edit DNA, revolutionizing medicine and ethics as they rewrite the very code of life. Pixabay, PublicDomainPictures CRISPR ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...
