https://apnews.com/4997bb7aa36c45449b488e19ac83e86d As detailed in the AP news story, most scientists believe the work to be unethical as the safety of the CRISPR gene editing technique used has not yet been fully established. See also...

Mosquitoes are responsible for spreading a number of human diseases (including malaria, Dengue fever, and Zika virus), and account for nearly half a million deaths per year worldwide. For many years, scientists have been investigating technologies that could help control or even eliminate...

@Ygggdrasil is far more qualified to comment on this than I am, but it seems like a good idea to raise the issue. Published today July 16, 2018 Letter in Nature Biotechnology: https://www.nature.com/articles/Nbt.4192 M. Kosicki, K. Tomberg & A Bradley Abstract: In plain English this says...

Why is gold un-reactive enough to be used as nanoparticles? Why do cells preform endocytosis upon detection of the gold delivery system? What are the chemical receptors active? Why is does it cause less genetic damage than doing it virally? Is this system partly designed to change the DNA of...

U.S. Doctors Plan to Treat Cancer Patients Using CRISPR https://www.technologyreview.com/s/609999/us-doctors-plan-to-treat-cancer-patients-using-crispr/

CRISPR is often used to switch out a length of DNA for a different piece of sequence, which can change several base pairs at once. crispr-derived-base-editors-surgically-alter-dna-or-rna-offering-new-ways-fix?utm_campaign=news_daily_2017-10-25&et_rid=33537079&et_cid=1624006']Here is a Science...

Hello guy, been a while since I was here, recently I've been studying biology and we had a brief explanation on what cripsr cas9 is. My teacher does not have answers to the questions I need so I will ask them here and sorry If there is misspelling here and there, I am on my phone. First of...

A major impediment to curing patients with HIV is the fact that the virus integrates its DNA into the genome of the cells it infects. While antiretroviral drugs and therapies can prevent infection of new cells and kill cells that are actively producing virus, a "latent reservoir" remains that...

Right I've read all about CRISPR but I can't help to think if such a possibility exists. As far as I know the only way to cause such changes is by modifying cells at the embryo stage. But if crispr can help grow a missing limb or create structural changes at adult stage it does sound like a...
