A pair of privately-held developers of editing-based therapies have some successes to show for their recent efforts to ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and improve fertility.

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases.

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery.The process of how a humble single cell ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists at UC Santa Cruz were able to create “programmable” cellular models of embryos without ...
