In May, a historic moment in science and medicine was captured in a single photo that circulated across news outlets ...

Thanks to CRISPR, our medical specialists will soon have unprecedented control over how they treat and prevent some of our most challenging genetic disorders and diseases. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly ...

Scientists developed a new nanostructure that triples CRISPR’s ability to enter cells, unlocking even more power to treat ...

Updated at 4:05 p.m. ET For the first time, doctors in the U.S. have used the powerful gene-editing technique CRISPR to try to treat a patient with a genetic disorder. "It is just amazing how far ...

Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct ...
