UCSF scientists engineered old fibroblast cells to turn their genes on and off in the same way as young fibroblasts. The old ...

As we age, we don't recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UCSF has found gene ...

The need to change regulations around gene-editing treatments was endorsed in November by the head of the US Food and Drug ...

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary called these changes “common-sense reforms” that could expedite the development of cell and ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

A patient death in a CRISPR trial halts gene editing studies, raising critical safety questions. What this means for the ...

To function properly, the genetic material is highly organized into loop structures that often bring together widely separated sections of the genome critical to the regulation of gene activity.

“It's a very elegant study. It's really interesting to see how this field of CRISPR screen is developed here using primary human T cells, which are not the easiest to work with,” said Fredrik ...

We all know that weight gain and weight loss are not as simple as "calories in, calories out," given that countless factors affect body weight. Now, researchers from Japan have identified a gene that ...
