A team of engineers at the University of Florida has developed a new form of CRISPR technology that could make diagnostics ...
Joe Bondy-Denomy solves a CRISPR caper: this is how a viral protein stows itself on protein factories in bacteria, and destroys a CRISPR protein, designed to kill viruses, while it's being made.
A trio of common amino acids may hold the key to unlocking far more powerful gene therapies. Researchers found that adding them to lipid nanoparticles can boost mRNA delivery up to 20-fold and push ...
A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...
Artist's rendering of a lipid nanoparticle (blue spherical shape at left) supplemented by amino acids (depicted as chemical compounds) fusing with the cell membrane (red) to deliver therapeutic cargo ...
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) act as carriers for mRNA and CRISPR payloads across a wide range of therapeutic applications, from cancer to inflammatory and genetic diseases. The same delivery system used ...
