Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

Researchers discovered the secret checkpoints that keep CRISPR precise, revealing how the tool shifts from inactive to active without misfiring. The insight could transform gene therapy, making ...

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

While CRISPR-mediated gene editing has led to powerful advances across biology, medicine, and agriculture, challenges persist in optimizing the editing efficiency of enzymes, such as the widely used ...

The CRISPR gene editing technology has transformed the research lab, and this powerful tool is now making its way into the clinic. So far, three different human diseases have been successfully treated ...

How CRISPR and functional genomics are used to establish causality, understand disease mechanisms and guide early drug discovery decisions.

This study is led by Prof. Qunxin She (Shandong University) and Dr. Guanhua Yuan (Shandong University). The research group has constructed versatile genetic tools for Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A, ...
