How to beat cancer? Find the genes that help it hide
Stanford Medicine researchers conducted an experiment to find new genes that, when knocked out, boost immune cells' cancer-killing ability.
How does 2020 Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR technology work?
The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognized the scientists who developed the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology. Here's how it's changing medicine.
Stanford technology helps advance CRISPR-based cancer therapy
A team led by Howard Chang has contributed key technology to enable new experimental cancer therapy that uses CRISPR to edit immune cells.
Scientists zero in on cancer treatments using CRISPR
Scientists have used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to decipher the genes critical to the success of a type of cancer drug, antibody-drug conjugates.
CRISPR algorithm predicts how well gene editing will work
Researchers at Stanford have created an algorithm that predicts how likely CRISPR gene editing will yield off-target mutations.
CRISPR yields new potential “bubble boy” gene therapy
Stanford scientists and collaborators have harnessed CRISPR to replace the mutated gene underpinning the devastating immune disease, SCID-X1.
Gene-editing causes accidental changes — scientists now have a new way to track them
Scientists at Stanford have developed a tool that helps them track "off-target" gene edits that come as an accidental result of gene editing.
Superior technique identified that can block CRISPR gene editing
A team of Stanford researchers has investigated several ways to block CRISPR gene editing and have found one that seems to work best.
CRISPR technology turns skin cells into brain cells with high efficiency
Scientists use a tweaked version of CRISPR gene editing to turn skin cells into neurons, and simultaneously identify neuron-specific genes.
New take on CRISPR allows scientists to transport DNA to new locations
A new variation of gene-editing technology CRISPR allows scientists to reorganize DNA in a cell's nucleus in three dimensions, altering cell function.
CRISPR helps scientists track down potential therapeutic targets for ALS
Scientists have used genome editing to pinpoint genes that reveal information about ALS and may even protect against the degeneration of neurons.
