LabRoots invites you to the 3rd Annual Event in the CRISPR Virtual Event Series! This event will continue the conversation of the abilities of CRISPR-based editing, next-gen editing tools, precision ...
The gene-editing technique known as CRISPR is promising to revolutionize medicine. Some researchers are trying to help make it available for people with very rare genetic disorders. A gene-editing ...
Rare genetic diseases are challenging for patients and their families—made all the more overwhelming because symptoms tend to appear soon after birth. To date, there haven’t been many reliable ...
When COVID first hit, waiting days for laboratory results from an ultrasensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was commonplace. Faster tests usable by anyone, anywhere, later became widely ...
CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

When Victoria Gray was still a baby, she started howling so inconsolably during a bath that she was rushed to the emergency room. The diagnosis was sickle-cell disease, a genetic condition that causes ...
Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, revolutionizing the ability to edit genes and ...
