A poorly characterized protein, historically thought to be a chaperon or enzyme, may actually be a key player in prostate cancer. In a systematic CRISPR screen, scientists from Arc Institute, UCSF, ...

A new tissue screening technology has been applied to human brain organoids, report scientists at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The technology, called CRISPR-LICHT (for CRIPSR-LIneage tracing at ...

Using a CRISPR screen, scientists at the Salk Institute have discovered a genetic “dial” to turn immune function up and down. The scientists suggest that the dial, which affects the development and ...

Using a new CRISPR-based methodology for modulating DNA structure to enact epigenetic control over specific genes, a team of researchers has identified a “master regulator” gene capable of improving T ...

CRISPR-based genetic screens have helped scientists identify genes that are key players in sickle-cell anemia, cancer immunotherapy, lung cancer metastasis, and many other diseases. However, these ...

This article was written for our sponsor, Innovation Road Trip. Eradication of certain diseases, increasing crop sizes, reducing pest populations — the current and future applications of CRISPR have ...

As no vaccines or approved therapeutics are currently available for disease control, the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 represents a significant risk for public health systems around the world. This can ...
