Gene editing has delivered remarkable results against sickle cell disease. Now researchers are working to make these ...

The EU has relaxed its rules on gene-editing. Now, only some gene-edited crops are regulated by the stringent GMO directive.

We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

Gene editing of plant DNA has the potential to produce crops with increased performance and resilience, but it can take a ...

"Traditional gene-editing technologies work best with single mutations and are expensive to optimize, so gene therapies tend to focus on the mutations that are the most common," Buffington said. "But ...

Cardiovascular diseases could be among the world’s first medical conditions to be treated by changing a patient’s genes. If ongoing phase 3 trials succeed, gene editing will offer a novel therapy for ...

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 ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...

Volatile macroeconomic events are magnified in life science and healthcare applications, which are capital intensive, long-term investments with associated regulatory, safety, and commercial risks.

It has also aggressively invested in gene editing, including its 2025 acquisition of cardiovascular disease gene-editing ...
