Researchers at Texas A&M are pairing a widely used ingredient with advanced medical technology to develop new treatments for ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune ...

It acts as a sort of molecular fumigator to battle phages and plasmids. CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses thwart invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens’ DNA and chop it up to ...

(a) Utilizing HCR and CRISPR-Cas12a double amplification technique, a highly sensitive apta-HCR-CRISPR method was devised for the detection of TEV protein. (b) A novel CRISPR-Cas12a/Cas13a approach, ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism. Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive disorder involving amyloid ...

CRISPR promises revolutionary cures, but its edits aren’t always perfect. To tackle hidden risks, UC San Diego researchers developed the ICP system, which fingerprints genetic edits and shows how they ...

Like the find-and-replace feature of a word processor, CRISPR-based engineering allows scientists to quickly and efficiently edit DNA sequences with base pair precision. Lauded as the great ...

Researchers from Japan have established a new in vivo genome-editing system, CRISPR–Cas3, as a promising therapeutic approach for ATTR Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic ...
