Researchers have been able to manipulate large chunks of genetic code for almost 50 years. But it is only within the past decade that they have been able to do it with exquisite precision – adding, ...

Over the past two decades, the immune system has attracted increasing attention for its role in fighting cancer. As researchers have learned more and more about the cancer-immune system interplay, ...

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 ...

We here at STAT cover CRISPR a lot. But it’s not every day we get to cover Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The Rock and the genome-editing technology meet in a new movie, “Rampage,” coming out Friday.

Drug resistance has long turned some of the most advanced lung cancer therapies into temporary victories, with tumors ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

A new study shows that neurons repair CRISPR-Cas9 cuts in unique, highly predictable ways, unlike dividing cells. Researchers ...
