- Bioengineers have repurposed a “non-working” CRISPR system to make a smaller version of the genome engineering tool. Its diminutive size should make it easier to deliver into human cells, tissues and the body for gene therapy. https://news.stanford.edu/2021/09/03/researchers-develop-hypercompact-crispr/ 17 comments science
- A team of researchers, including CRISPR pioneer Feng Zhang, have developed a system that uses a human protein to deliver mRNA. This work could open up new avenues for deliver RNA therapeutics, such as vaccines. https://www.technologynetworks.com/proteomics/news/human-protein-used-to-deliver-molecular-therapies-352344 5 comments science
- Powerful CRISPR upgrade uses 'jumping genes' to directly insert DNA. If this jumping gene CRISPR system can be made to work in complex cells, it would give biologists “find and add” function. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2205803-powerful-crispr-upgrade-uses-jumping-genes-to-directly-insert-dna/ 43 comments science
- Don’t dismiss gene editing on account of one rogue case - He Jiankui’s work on Crispr babies has been condemned. But the beneficial possibilities in his work are endless https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/02/dont-dismiss-gene-editing-on-account-of-one-rogue-case 12 comments technology
- Scientists have developed a new CRISPR platform that will make gene-editing more precise. Researchers believe the upgrade, dubbed MAGESTIC, will make CRISPR work less like scissors and more like 'control F' [find] operation of a word-processor, with the replace-text command allowing a desired change https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2018/05/clipping-scissors-word-processor 108 comments science
- Scientists combine CRISPR and DNA barcoding to track cancer growth. Cancer research that once involved years of painstaking work can now happen in months with a novel technique for systematically studying cancer-related genes. The results reveal how combinations of mutations influence tumor growth. https://news.stanford.edu/press-releases/2018/04/03/stanford-scientier-growth-crispr/ 3 comments science
