Supposing the resistance might have roots in a CRISPR-like mechanism, Raoult’s team sequenced genomes from the three giant-virus lineages, and found a 28-nucleotide stretch of DNA in lineage A ...

Early reports have demonstrated that CRISPR effectively excises integrated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) from cells. 1,2 For Michele Lai from the University of Pisa, these studies raised ...

The company, which has licensed the CRISPR-based technology from Philadelphia ... development of EBT-103 targeting John Cunningham Virus for Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, a disease ...

Gene therapies to treat rheumatoid arthritis have evolved slowly, but one is ready to move into human trials and an ...

In bacteria, CRISPR serves as a memory immune response. When bacteria encounter viral DNA, they can incorporate part of the sequence into their own DNA. Then, if the virus is encountered again ...

Complementary discoveries have the potential to enhance treatment options for antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers at ...

To cut out this virus, the team used CRISPR-Cas gene editing technology— a groundbreaking method that allows for precise ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.
