A version of this Priestley Medal address will be presented at the American Chemical Society Spring 2026 meeting ...

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, 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 ...

The CRISPR/Cas system, known for gene editing, is now revolutionizing molecular diagnostics due to its high specificity and efficiency in recognizing and cleaving target sequences. Cas9, Cas12, and ...

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 ...

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system is a bacterial defense mechanism that uses RNA-guided enzymes to cut specific sequences ...

CRISPR powers everything from gene editing to rapid diagnostics, but how did one of its most versatile branches arise? A new Cell study, “Functional RNA splitting drove the evolutionary emergence of ...

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 ...

August is going out like a lamb after some scorching heat waves earlier this summer. The summer's unofficial end is looking cool and dry as Labor Day nears, according to the National Weather Service.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled Friday that decisions made by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) can now be reviewed by national courts to ensure compliance with European Union (EU) ...

CRISPR gene-editing therapy has shown great potential to treat and even cure diseases, but scientists are now discovering how it can be used to prevent them as well. A team of researchers found a way ...

Overview of CRISPR/Cas system-based tumor molecular diagnostic strategies, including variant gene, protein, and liquid biopsy marker assays and in situ molecular analysis. The CRISPR/Cas system, known ...
