A team of researchers believe they could bring back the Woolly mammoth from extinction within two years. new gene editing technology called “crispr/cas9” is responsible for some pretty significant developments. recently researchers have used the technique view more...
Geneticist Jennifer Doudna co-invented a groundbreaking new technology for editing genes, called CRISPR-Cas9. The tool allows scientists to make precise edits to DNA strands, which could lead to treatments for genetic diseases. a new genome editing tool, view more...
Researchers have demonstrated they can efficiently improve the DNA of human embryos. the first known attempt at creating genetically modified human embryos in the united states has been carried out by a team of researchers in portland, view more...
Scientists have successfully edited the DNA of human embryos to erase a heritable heart condition that is known for causing sudden death in young competitive athletes, cracking open the doors to aa new era in medicine. this is the first time gene editing view more...
Twin girls have been born in China after their genes were edited to resist the HIV virus using a gene editing technique called CRISPR-cas9, a first for humankind, but not everyone supports this controversial experiment. gene-editing view more...
The revolutionary gene altering therapy CAR-T involves removing immune cells from a patients' blood, reprogramming them to create an army of cells that can zero in on and destroy cancer cells and injecting them back into the patient. a treatment for a view more...
For the first time, researchers have used the cloning method that produced Dolly the sheep to create two healthy monkeys, bringing science an important step closer to being able to do the same with humans. since dolly's birth in 1996, scientists have view more...
