A gene borrowed from the naked mole rat, an animal famous for extraordinary longevity and disease resistance, helped mice live a little longer and stay healthier, pointing to a surprising biological ...

RNA therapeutics target translation rather than DNA, aiming to correct shared protein production errors. By enabling cells to read through premature stop codons, engineered tRNAs could restore ...

Penn Gene Therapy Program Director James Wilson will depart the University, and the functions and assets of Penn Medicine’s Gene Therapy Program will be transferred to two new for-profit companies: ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...
