A new review in Engineering reveals that CRISPR technologies are revolutionizing regenerative medicine. Scientists from ...

Casgevy enables CRISPR/Cas-9 to edit the BCL11A gene in stem cells to produce fetal hemoglobin. The edited genes are infused into a patient's bone marrow to start producing red blood cells with ...

For sickle cell, patients’ cells are removed from the body and CRISPR is used to make an edit that turns back on production of fetal hemoglobin, a form of the protein that babies make in the womb.

However, with the emergence of CRISPR, two major therapeutic applications can work to treat sickle cell, including either repairing the genes for hemoglobin S or replacing hemoglobin S with ...

Crispr Therapeutics AG reported significant ... This edit results in the production of high levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF; hemoglobin F) in red blood cells. HbF is the form of the oxygen ...
