Scientists have achieved a genetic feat once thought impossible: removing an entire extra human chromosome using gene-editing ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.

This spring term, Sara Yacoubian and Karen Shollenberger, two MS students in the Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Sciences, each partnered with PhD students in Drexel’s science ...

The development of gene editing tools, which enable the specific targeting and correction of mutations, hold the promise of allowing us to correct those mutations that cause genetic diseases. However, ...

Researchers have successfully develop single-atom editing technology that maximizes drug efficacy. In pioneering drug development, the new technology that enables the easy and rapid editing of key ...

A team of Chinese scientists has used gene therapy to correct a mutation that caused mice to exhibit autistic behaviors like hyperactivity, repetitive self-grooming, and abnormal social interactions.

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this mechanism, ...

Scientists leveraged plants’ built-in regeneration capacity to grow modified plants in weeks instead of months, offering a novel tool in plant biotechnology. Recognized in the Biotechnology category ...

Heather will be our Science & Technology editor, and these two beats are a key part of our mission to share trusted academic ...
