Crispr’s ability to cut genetic code like scissors has just started to turn into medicines. Now, gene editing pioneer Jennifer Doudna wants to build an entire ecosystem to bring these treatments ...
MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we treat hundreds of genetic diseases. By fine-tuning the tiny molecular “tools ...
Aurora Therapeutics' first target is the rare inherited disease phenylketonuria, also known as PKU. Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013 ...
Gene editing is a numbers game. For any genetic tweaks to have notable impact, a sufficient number of targeted cells need to have the disease-causing gene deleted or replaced. Despite a growing ...
