A team of researchers in Australia have successfully used CRISPR-Cas9 to prevent the expression of a gene that drives cervical cancer. The researchers’ technique was shown to be effective at…
A paper published in Nature that suggested babies born following treatment with CRISPR would have shorter lifespans has been retracted by the authors due to ‘technical errors’ made during analysis…
A new method of delivering CRISPR has been developed that allows scientists to deliver the gene editing tool into microorganisms and potentially develop highly personalized treatments for a wide range…
Scientists may have succeeded not only in slowing the sands of time, but actually reversing the aging process. In a yearlong trial, participants lost an average of 2.5 years from…
A team of biomedical engineers and dentists have created a new hydrogel that promotes the regeneration and repair of bone defects without the side effects associated with techniques currently being…
Chinese researchers have developed what they believe could be a viable, safer alternative to CRISPR for correcting genetic mutations in humans to treat diseases. The technology is called ‘leveraging endogenous…
Scientists have created the first three-dimensional living entities from human embryonic stem cells. These advanced cellular structures or embryoids closely resemble primitive human embryos and could potentially be used to…
Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys have grown fully functional hair follicles from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that grow natural looking hair through the skin. Trauma, burns, and a range…
For the first time, scientists have successfully genetically modified stem cells in vivo in mice, eliminating the risks associated with extraction, lab alteration, and re-introduction of the cells. Patients with…
