Viruses armed with the gene-editing tool CRISPR could someday be used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), results from an early clinical trial suggest. However, the experimental treatment, which ...
CRISPR was one of the most influential breakthroughs of the last decade, but it's still imperfect. While the gene editing tool is already helping people with genetic ailments, scientists are also ...
Earlier this year, researchers at CHOP and Penn created a first-of-its-kind drug customized to a unique genetic mutation to save an infant named Baby KJ from dying of a rare liver disorder. KJ Muldoon ...
A 'loopy' discovery in bacteria is raising fundamental questions about the makeup of our own genome -- and revealing a potential wellspring of material for new genetic therapies. A "loopy" discovery ...
