New DNA-editing technique extends lifespan of mice with progeria
Researchers have used a novel DNA-editing method to convert one base pair to another, increasing the lifespan of mice with progeria.
news
CRISPR tagging used to grow neuronal cells from stem cells
A new technique using CRISPR has been developed by researchers to identify programmed stem cells that mature into neuronal cells.

Advancing CHO cell line engineering with CRISPR
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines are a firm favourite with biologics companies because of the extensive developmental work undertaken in recent decades. In this article, Junrui Li divulges how CRISPR technology is now being employed to further enhance productivity.
article
CRISPR: a molecular scissor set to change the world
In October this year, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna, the two scientists who pioneered the revolutionary gene-editing technology CRISPR, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Here, Pushpanathan Muthuirulan discusses the potential for this technology and the importance of using it safely, ethically and responsibly.

Upstream Bioprocessing In-Depth Focus 2020
In the upstream bioprocessing in-depth focus experts reveal how CRISPR is being leveraged to enhance productivity in cell line development and why industry is focusing on producing animal-component free glycosaminoglycans.
news
CRISPR-based treatment successfully targets glioblastoma and ovarian cancers in vivo
Researchers say this is the first time that CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing has been used to treat cancer effectively in a living animal and that the technique could be revolutionary.
news
Scalable method to image protein levels and changes developed
Using a new CRISPR-Cas9 tagging strategy, researchers have developed a method that enables the imaging of hundreds of proteins in parallel.
news
Editing CHO cells with CRISPR-Cas9 improves cell growth and reduces by-products
Researchers have found bioengineering CHO cells using CRISPR-Cas9 can decrease the secretion of metabolic by-products that hinder growth.
news
CRISPR editing can result in whole chromosome elimination, say scientists
In a new study, scientists identify some of the pitfalls when using CRISPR Cas9 to correct mutations in human embryos, such as the destruction of whole chromosomes.
news
Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to scientists who discovered CRISPR-Cas9
Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna have been given the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery and development of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing.
news
CRISPR used to eliminate cancers caused by fusion genes
Using CRISPR to cut out fusion genes, scientists were able to specifically induce cancer cell death in murine models of sarcoma and leukaemia.
news
Using CRISPR to develop a cutaneous leishmaniasis vaccine
Researchers used CRISPR gene-editing to develop a vaccine able to protect against the spread of the Leishmania major parasite which causes cutaneous leishmaniasis.
news
New CRISPR system edits body’s response to prevent immunity against AAVs
A novel CRISPR system that suppresses genes related to adeno-associated virus (AAV) antibody production has been developed to prevent immunity against the gene therapy.
news
Novel CRISPR C-to-G DNA base editor developed by researchers
A new CRISPR technology has been created to understand mutations based on cytosine to guanine base changes and minimise unintended "off-target" mutations.
