Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Head of Biomedical Engineering Programme, Director of CUHKSZ-Boyalife Joint Laboratory of Regenerative Medicine Engineering, Team Leader of Integrated Devices and ...

Gene editing in plants remains challenging, with the traditional non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) repair pathway often ...

Magnesium is essential to Cas9’s function, but many studies on the protein are done in a solution with a magnesium ...

Call it a CRISPR conundrum. Bacteria use CRISPR-Cas systems as adaptive immune systems to withstand attacks from enemies like viruses. These systems have been adapted by scientists to remove or cut ...

As CRISPR continues to drive breakthroughs in medicine, agriculture, and synthetic biology, understanding its origins does more than tell an ancient story. It provides a blueprint for engineering the ...

A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. An international team of ...

The CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) and its associated protein (Cas9) system is a genome-editing technology that holds the potential to alleviate multiple ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR ...

The lack of efficient delivery methods is a major barrier to clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas)-mediated genome editing in many plant ...

Researchers flip nature's script by engineering a virus to carry a CRISPR system to change a bacterium's genes. Call it a CRISPR conundrum. Bacteria use CRISPR-Cas systems as adaptive immune systems ...
