Here’s how extinct DNA could help us in the present—and the future. Yeah, we know—it’s not a dire wolf. In early 2025, the Texas biotech company Colossal Biosciences landed with a splash on the cover ...

This year marked a pivotal moment in the quest to treat Huntington’s disease, a rare but devastating form of dementia. Scientists found that an experimental gene therapy slowed the condition’s ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

The FDA has issued its stamp of approval to a new, cell-based option to treat Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), marking the first therapy of its kind for the rare disease and making Italy’s Fondazione ...

In a breakthrough study, scientists have discovered that a variant in one gene, GRIN2A, can directly cause mental illness – something previously believed to be the result of several mutations working ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Instead of requiring personalized gene edits for each patient, the new approach could create a standardized method to use for many diseases. By Pam Belluck and Carl Zimmer Gene-editing therapies offer ...

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...

Discover how scientists are harnessing the power of CRISPR to precisely edit DNA, revolutionizing medicine and ethics as they rewrite the very code of life. Pixabay, PublicDomainPictures CRISPR ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...
