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 ...

In a groundbreaking fusion of artificial intelligence and gene editing, researchers are leveraging machine learning to enhance CRISPR technology’s precision and efficiency. This integration is opening ...

For a decade after its discovery, CRISPR gene editing was stuck on the cusp of transforming medicine. Then, in 2023, scientists started using it on sickle-cell disease, and Victoria Gray, a patient ...

Last year, a ten-month-old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively cured through the use of CRISPR gene editing technology. But the rollout of ...

A new generation of CRISPR technology developed at UNSW Sydney offers a safer path to treating genetic diseases like sickle cell, while also proving beyond doubt that chemical tags on DNA—often ...

1. Amichai Berman (School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at Tel Aviv University), the PhD student leading the research. Researchers: “Genetic editing in crop plants is a complex process. Our ...

In the late 2010s eight macaque monkeys were born at a laboratory in Shanghai. At first they seemed much like the other infants in the colony, but differences soon became obvious. They were much more ...

“In the end, the Federal Circuit faces a momentous decision: Affirm the PTAB’s status as an apparent international outlier—thereby denying the Nobel Prize winners—or reverse the PTAB, which can be ...

A novel CRISPR-based technology can spread within bacterial populations to eliminate antibiotic resistance. In a potential breakthrough for tackling antibiotic resistance, researchers from the ...
