US biotech Excision BioTherapeutics has raised $60 million to test a potential HIV cure in the clinic, which would use CRISPR technology to snip out the viral code from human cells and tissues.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a CRISPR-based diagnostic tool capable of detecting ...

There are an estimated 300 CRISPR therapies in the development pipeline to treat diseases such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS and cancer. Most of these treatments are in the earliest stages of development.

Tulane University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based test that diagnoses Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) - a ...

Recently several teams have deployed CRISPR in an attempt to eliminate HIV from the DNA of human cells. The results have been only partially successful, but many scientists remain convinced that ...

Scientists are reporting the first use of the gene-editing tool CRISPR to try to cure a patient’s HIV infection by providing blood cells that were altered to resist the AIDS virus. The gene ...

Researchers have developed a CRISPR-based test that diagnoses Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) — a life-threatening ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...
