A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

For years, researchers have been trying to figure out how to treat inherited blood disorders like sickle cell disease without causing new health problems in the process. Now, a team of scientists from ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

Developing a gene therapy typically takes years, but when Baby KJ was diagnosed with a deadly genetic condition, scientists had only months. What followed was a successful collaboration among ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...
