A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems. The study, published online in Cell on August ...

Powered by gene editing advances like CRISPR and base editing, cell and gene therapy (CGT) is delivering on the promise of genomic medicine. First-generation CAR T-cell therapies, for example, have ...

Waking up this morning to news of the much-deserved Nobel Prize win for Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna "for the development of a method for genome editing" confirms the importance of ...

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 ...

Genome editing holds great promise for the molecular breeding of plants, yet its application is hindered by the shortage of simple and effective means of delivering genome editing reagents into plants ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...
