CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, ...

Certain epigenetic modifications can directly control how genetic material is packed in the nucleus, RIKEN researchers have shown. This has important implications for our understanding of how genes ...

Molecular clocks that can provide accurate estimates of both molecular age and lifespan across multiple mammalian species and ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

CRISPR functions as a programmable genetic memory system derived from bacterial immune defenses against viral infections. Guide RNA allows for rapid multiplexed targeting compared to older ...

Genetic defects are exceedingly common, which is not surprising considering just how many cells make up our bodies, including our reproductive cells. While most of these defects have no or only minor ...
