From genetically modified mosquitoes to clinical therapies, learn how scientists apply gene editing techniques to answer a ...

Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses ...

Malaria, a disease that has plagued humanity for centuries, continues to claim millions of lives each year. But scientists may have found a new way to combat this deadly disease. In clinical ...

Neurogeneticist Matthew DeGennaro is the first scientist to make a mutant mosquito — a game-changing tool in researching ...

GENETICALLY engineered "toxic male" mosquitoes could help kill off disease-spreading females. Scientists say the gene-hacked male insects can cull female numbers by mating with venomous semen.

In a trial similar to the one conducted in the Netherlands, mosquitoes served as carriers for malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites that had been genetically weakened using CRISPR gene-editing ...

Genetic engineering, the science of altering DNA to improve or change the characteristics of living things, is making huge ...
