Modified CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing scissors are enabling researchers to make alterations to the genetic material of single-cell organisms that are indistinguishable from natural mutations. This method ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Researchers have used CRISPR -- a revolutionary new genetic engineering technique -- to convert cells isolated from mouse connective tissue directly into neuronal cells. In 2006, ...

Squalene is primarily obtained from deep-sea shark liver oil, which accounts for 40–70% of the liver mass. Annually, three to six million deep-sea sharks are killed for squalene due to its human ...

The UK government has launched its public consultation on the deregulation of gene editing in England. To kick things off, somewhat predictably Environment Secretary George Eustice recently spun a ...

A cup of tea in 2006 changed genetic engineering forever. Jill Banfield, a University of California at Berkeley ecosystem scientist and 1999 MacArthur Foundation fellow, had become curious in 2006 ...

Specific genetic modifications allowed the lung to survive the body’s hyperacute rejection, where the body attacks the organ, ...

Paul Berg, the Nobel Prize-winning biochemist whose ground-breaking experiments in gene-splicing reshaped cancer research and helped spawn the multibillion-dollar biotechnology industry, has died at ...
