The last time The Lancet Microbe featured an Editorial on CRISPR was in November 2020, to mark that year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry, jointly awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A Doudna for ...

Tulane University researchers have developed an enhanced CRISPR-based tuberculosis test that works with a simple tongue swab, a potential breakthrough that could allow easier, community-based ...

Scientists have taken an important step toward a gene therapy that could one day turn off the extra genetic material that ...

Tulane University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based test that diagnoses Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) - a life-threatening fungal infection primarily affecting children and ...

By Nancy Lapid April 17 (Reuters) - Researchers have developed a modified version of the CRISPR gene-editing tool that in ...

A compact Cas12f nuclease shows high editing efficiency in human cells, with structural insights enabling an engineered variant potentially suited for future AAV‑compatible delivery.

Banas is associate director of research at the Gene Editing Institute at ChristianaCare, where Kmiec is founder and executive director. The medical promise of CRISPR gene editing can be seen most ...

If the first CRISPR decade was marked by a mad dash to evolve, engineer, and mine the bacterial universe for more and better genome-editing enzymes, so far the second seems to be all about three words ...

If CRISPR stays active too long, it could cut unintended parts of the genome. To reduce this risk, the researchers designed a self-inactivating CRISPR system. This means that CRISPR edits the gene and ...

More than 10 million people develop tuberculosis (TB) each year, yet about 40% go undiagnosed. The main culprit is reliance on sputum-based testing, which many patients—particularly those who are ...
