Bengaluru: Genetic engineering researchers have discovered a powerful tool that can be used to edit genes on a larger scale. This tool will allow researchers to rearrange, recombine, invert, duplicate, …
Other than rejection of the organ, one of the most common transplant complications is infection. Doctors have to strike a balance when prescribing immunosuppressive drugs: too low a dose can …
That has led researchers to genetically alter pigs in an attempt to make their organs a better match. The biotech company that bred the pig for the Penn study, eGenesis …
New Delhi: Artificial intelligence, quantum computing and gene editing have opened up new frontiers in science. Tech giants are racing to decode the structure of protein with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) …
Casgevy uses the Nobel Prize–winning technology Crispr to modify patients’ cells so that they produce healthy hemoglobin instead. The Crispr system has two parts: a protein that cuts genetic material …
In a small initial test in people, researchers have shown that a single infusion of a novel gene-editing treatment can reduce cholesterol, the fatty substance that clogs and hardens arteries …
Lawrence Faucette, the 58-year-old patient with terminal heart disease who was the second person to receive a genetically engineered pig heart, died on October 30, according to a statement from …
The gene edit also helped limit the spread of the virus. Four ordinary chickens were placed in the same incubator with the gene-edited birds that had already been exposed to …
Monkeys are often used in research as stand-ins for people because of their biological similarities. But Curtis anticipates that transplant outcomes for people will be even better, since the organs …
