Explore how nanotechnology acts as the 'Convergence Engine' for AI materials discovery, CRISPR gene therapy delivery, and ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach of genome editing to repair muscle stem (satellite) cells, offering new hope for ...

Researchers have successfully resurrected a gene that humanity lost millions of years ago. The results could change how we treat common diseases such as gout and maybe even contribute to slowing down ...

Researchers have used CRISPR to switch back on a gene that vanished from the human lineage roughly 20 million years ago, ...

We're living in a moment where science fiction is becoming medical reality. Imagine a world where doctors can simply rewrite the genetic code that condemns someone to a lifetime of suffering.No more ...

This article was produced in partnership with Regeneron by Scientific American Custom Media, a division separate from the magazine’s board of editors. In the long-running quest to improve on ...

To the research team working to save him, KJ Muldoon was first known only as Patient Eta. But within months, KJ’s name — and megawatt, chubby-cheeked smile — would be splashed across newspapers and ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Transposon sequencing analyses reveal that among genomically diverse clinical Mycobacterium intracellulare strains and the type strain, 131 genes were comprehensively identified as universal essential ...

Now, Musunuru and colleagues are preparing a master clinical protocol to study a CRISPR therapy that's mostly the same as the one they used to treat baby KJ, except they plan to swap out the gene ...
