These modifications increase chromatin accessibility, influencing growth, differentiation, and ion transport, with contrasting effects on normal and colorectal cancer cells. Study: Short-chain fatty ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. William A. Haseltine, Ph.D., covers genomics and regenerative medicine Newly published research offers a novel technique to ...

The genetic modification therapy market presents key opportunities in developing specialized treatments for rare, inherited, ...

Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently in animals. This allows them to study in a single experiment what used to require many animal experiments.

Advances in gene therapy have come a long way since the 1960s and 1970s, when scientists first conceptualized the idea of modifying genes in patients who suffered from debilitating congenital ...

Gene editing is a group of technologies that enable scientists to precisely alter an organism's DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or alteration of genetic material at specific ...

SCD gene therapy approaches using CRISPR, gene therapy, and base editing show different stem cell outcomes in a mouse study.

Some species of tardigrades are highly and unusually resilient to various extreme conditions fatal to most other forms of life. The genetic basis for these exceptional abilities remains elusive.

When it comes to challenges in the genome editing space, all eyes are on delivery. Efficient editing of cells directly in an organism (rather than ex vivo) and targeting of relevant stem cells is ...

One proven method for tracking down the genetic causes of diseases is to knock out a single gene in animals and study the consequences this has for the organism. The problem is that for many diseases, ...
