Putting Pig Organs In People Is OK In The US, But Growing Human Organs In Pigs Is Not - Why Is That?
A decade ago, scientists were chasing a different solution. Instead of editing the genes of pigs to make their organs human-friendly, they tried to grow human organs made entirely of human cells inside pigs. But in 2015 the National Institutes of

CRISPR Explained: How Gene Editing Is Reshaping Medicine
CRISPR is revolutionizing medicine by enabling precise DNA edits, treating genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, and pioneering in vivo editing and personalized therapies.

In Major Breakthrough, Mice Created With Two Fathers And No Mother Reach Adulthood
By using embryonic stem cell engineering, the researchers were able to reprogram the imprinted genes, effectively allowing the mice to develop with genetic material from two fathers.

AI Unlocks “DNA Grammar” for Targeted Gene Editing, Enhancing Gene Therapy, and More
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory, Broad Institute, and Yale University use AI to identify DNA sequences that control gene activation in specific cells. This AI model decodes patterns in DNA regions called cis-regulatory elements (CREs), guiding synthetic DNA switches for cell-specific gene activity. Early testing in animal models showed succes...

Controversial Chinese Scientist He Jiankui Back With New Gene-Editing Proposal
He Jiankui said that this experiment would involve abnormal fertilised egg cells that are typically considered unsuitable for implantation in women.

New Study Might Lead to New Therapeutic Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have used a new CRISPR technology that enables them to control these microglia cells. This, according to the team, can lead to a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team geared up to detect the genes that were responsible for specific states of the microglial activity. With this, they could switch the genes on and ...

"Chopping Up" COVID-19 Virus In Cells: How It Works, Why It's Key
Scientists have used CRISPR gene-editing technology to successfully block the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in infected human cells, according to research released Tuesday that could pave the way for Covid-19 treatments.

Tata Memorial Hospital, IIT Bombay Collaborate for ‘First in India’ CAR-T Cell Therapy for Cancer Treatment
Tata Memorial Hospital and IIT Bombay collaborated for the first Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, a type of gene therapy for blood cancer treatment, in India, which was conducted on Friday, June 4 in Mumbai.

Gene-Edited Twins in China Still Face Risk of HIV Infection
Twin girls whose DNA was altered as part of a controversial effort in China to make them resistant to HIV infection could still contract the virus that causes AIDS.

'Gene-Edited' Cells Must Not be Used for Pregnancy: Scientists
Human cells or embryos that undergo a process of gene-editing must not be used to establish a pregnancy, an international scientific panel said on Thursday, urging strict limits on the controversial research.
-
Chinese 'Edit' Human Embryos, Scientists Urge Moratorium on Research
Global scientists on Thursday renewed calls to halt controversial research to genetically edit human embryos after a Chinese team published details of a stunted but breakthrough attempt in this new frontier in science.
