Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method—CRISPR—sometimes does more harm than good. A new study from University of California San Diego and Yale ...

Emerging gene-editing platforms are demonstrating that disease-causing mutations, aberrant gene expression, and even large-scale DNA insertions can be corrected without relying on error-prone DNA ...

While researchers have long appreciated the enormous potential of genome editing to treat disease, applications of these technologies in humans have historically been limited by safety concerns. Even ...

Affecting an estimated 100,000 people globally, cystic fibrosis (CF) cases stem from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. In the past several decades, ...
