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 ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or ...

UNIVERSITY CITY (WPVI) -- The first attempt in the United States to use a gene-editing tool called CRISPR against cancer seems safe in the three patients who have had it so far, but it's too soon to ...

MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we ...

For the first time, scientists have found a way to efficiently and precisely remove genes from white blood cells of the immune system and to insert beneficial replacements, all in far less time than ...

MIT researchers have dramatically lowered the error rate of prime editing, a technique with promise for treating numerous ...
