Generating Over a Billion Cells with CRISPR for Next Generation Cell Therapies

XTalks

CRISPR is notable for engineering living cells, allowing scientists to edit, turn off, delete, or replace genes in a cell’s genome. This technology has powerful implications for therapeutic uses, such as replacing mutated or disease-causing genes or increasing the activity of cancer-fighting cells.

Using CRISPR to Edit the Epigenome Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells without editing the genetic sequence itself. These modifications regulate gene expression without altering the sequence or structure of DNA.
