Three start-ups are aiming to create gene-edited babies. Columnist Michael Le Page has no doubt that editing our offspring ...

Imagine if you could fix a spelling mistake in a long document with just one click. Now, imagine doing the same with the genetic code of a plant or even a human cell. That’s ...

Bacteria use a short RNA guide to detect viruses and activate a self-destruct mechanism that protects the wider microbial ...

From 60 Minutes comes the story of a Georgia science team that carried the Stars and Stripes to Europe for an international science competition and finished in the top ten by using genetic engineering ...

Scientists didn’t understand how bacteria divide up carbon sources into different paths for energy or to build new materials. Professor Ludmilla Aristilde; Professor Niall Mangan; Postdoctoral ...

CRISPR Therapeutics AG remains a pioneering gene editing company, with Casgevy's slow commercial ramp and robust pipeline driving long-term potential. Despite Casgevy's $2.2M list price and broad ...

Matthew Herper covers medical innovation — both its promise and its perils. A CRISPR-based gene editing therapy dramatically reduced levels of low-density lipoprotein, often called “bad cholesterol,” ...

Some viruses, known as bacteriophages, only infect bacterial cells, often destroying those bacteria in the process. Bacteria, in turn, can develop defenses against these viruses. Bacteriophages or ...

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the deadly drug-resistant bacteria NDM-CRE found a 70% rise in infections in the U.S. between 2019 and 2023. Also known as ...
