Genetically modified organisms have been at the center of controversy for decades. But what does the science actually say? Modern genetic engineering allows scientists to introduce specific traits ...

Cas9, Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), and Zinc-Finger nucleases (ZFNs) have demonstrated great utility, primarily for genetic knock-out applications, none have been adopted ...

INSTALL results showed successful and safe non-viral insertion of large genetic payloads in the livers of mice when delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). In contrast, mice experienced fatal immune ...

Scientists and futurists have proposed several possible paths for humanity’s long-term future. Some scenarios involve extinction from advanced biological weapons, nanotechnology, or other human-made ...

The event featured awards and a hands-on activity of attempting to use materials such as balloons, popcicle sticks, duck tape ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

Eremenko explains how his startup P-1 AI aims to build AI engineers and reflects on why hydrogen aviation stalled. Few engineers have moved as fluidly between defense research, Silicon Valley ...

A new method for safely inserting large chunks of DNA into genomes has now measured up in mice, potentially paving the way ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed LIBRIS, an automated microfluidic platform that dramatically ...

For the first time, Colossal BioSciences unveiled its Dallas labs where it is spending millions of dollars researching how to revive extinct animals and save endangered ones.

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and share much of our lives. They also share much of their biology with humans ...
