New approach to gene correction for iron storage disease

Hereditary primary hemochromatosis is caused by a single faulty building block in a gene. This leads to iron overload, which can have serious consequences for organs and joints. In preclinical studies, researchers have already ...

How gene-targeting technology is transforming STI diagnosis

Most people who have heard of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (more commonly known as CRISPR) associate it with gene editing—the precise molecular scissors that allow scientists to cut and rewrite ...
