The state-run Chinese Academy of Sciences claims to have developed a "more efficient and safer" gene-editing method.

Verve’s effort is gradually making clinical progress and would be a significant upgrade from statins and other available medicines

“It’s a little scary, quite honestly,” says Dr. Jennifer Doudna, who helped develop CRISPR gene-editing technology.

CRISPR gene editing has been used to try to prevent a genetic disorder in dogs for the first time, in this case a common condition called hip dysplasia

In this interview, we speak to Echo Pan, a Ph.D. student from North Carolina State University about her latest research that used CRISPR to uncover more on probiotics.

Researchers have created two gene-edited dogs that were born from a cloning process that involved skin cells and CRISPR.

The researchers caution: "The CRISPR genome editing method is very effective, but not always safe. Sometimes cleaved chromosomes do not recover and genomic stability is compromised - which in the long run might promote cancer."

“The unregulated advancement of biotech is creating a new arms race and threatening our personal autonomy.” – Spartacus (Article by Rhoda Wilson Republished from Expose-News.com) A document [...]

Researchers say they found a "safer" and "novel" CRISPR technique to fix genetic defects.

Curing debilitating genetic diseases is one of the great challenges of modern medicine. During the past decade, development of CRISPR technologies and advancements in genetics research brought new hope for patients and their families, although the safety of these new methods is still of significant concern.
