The last time The Lancet Microbe featured an Editorial on CRISPR was in November 2020, to mark that year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry, jointly awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A Doudna for ...

Tulane University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based test that diagnoses Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) - a life-threatening fungal infection primarily affecting children and ...

Tulane University researchers have developed an enhanced CRISPR-based tuberculosis test that works with a simple tongue swab, a potential breakthrough that could allow easier, community-based ...

An MIT spin-off company called Sherlock Biosciences has gotten FDA approval to begin using its CRISPR-based COVID-19 test, which promises to be faster and easy to perform without access to a full lab.

If the first CRISPR decade was marked by a mad dash to evolve, engineer, and mine the bacterial universe for more and better genome-editing enzymes, so far the second seems to be all about three words ...

Scientists have taken an important step toward a gene therapy that could one day turn off the extra genetic material that ...

More than 10 million people develop tuberculosis (TB) each year, yet about 40% go undiagnosed. The main culprit is reliance on sputum-based testing, which many patients—particularly those who are ...

If CRISPR stays active too long, it could cut unintended parts of the genome. To reduce this risk, the researchers designed a self-inactivating CRISPR system. This means that CRISPR edits the gene and ...
