Bacteriophages have evolved anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins to combat the adaptive immunity provided by bacterial CRISPR–Cas systems. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of an anti-Cas9 ...
High-fidelity CRISPR–Cas9 enzymes have fewer off-targets but often suffer from low editing efficiency. Here, we show that a simple extension of the guide RNA improves the activity of SuperFi-Cas9 ...
CRISPR Cas9 genome editing has transformed the way scientists approach gene therapy, acting like precise DNA scissors that can target and repair hereditary diseases at the genetic level. This ...
Transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a progressive, often fatal disease. Nexiguran ziclumeran (nex-z) is an investigational therapy based on CRISPR-Cas9 (clustered regularly ...
CRISPR functions as a programmable genetic memory system derived from bacterial immune defenses against viral infections. Guide RNA allows for rapid multiplexed targeting compared to older ...
A genome-editing technique known as prime editing holds potential for treating many diseases by transforming faulty genes into functional ones. However, the process carries a small chance of inserting ...
The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved two gene therapies to treat sickle cell disease, one of the which is the first CRISPR/Cas9-based treatment to win regulatory approval in the US. The ...
Effect of CD22-directed CAR-T cells secreting anti-CD19 T cell engagers on control of leukemia progression compared to tandem anti-CD19/CD22 CAR-T cells. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ...
Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibits lipoprotein and endothelial lipases. ANGPTL3 loss-of-function genetic variants are associated with decreased levels of low-density lipoprotein ...
In 2020, Jennifer Doudna won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work on the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology that allows ...
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 ...
Since the landmark discovery that a bacterial defense mechanism could be repurposed into programmable “molecular scissors,” CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology has undergone a major evolution. Over ...
