The model has the potential to transform the ability to study telomere biology, learn more about human aging, and ultimately help people preserve better health as they age.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Gene and cell therapy is moving fast – and in a clear direction. Programs are pushing toward more complex payloads, virus-free engineering, and manufacturing models that can scale from early research ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to the forefront of global health care. After their clinical ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

To use this evidence, investigators typically must grow the larvae until adulthood in a laboratory setting and then identify ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have built CRISPR-GPT, a large language model designed to automate the full arc of gene-editing ...

Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Researchers at the University of Strathclyde have played a central role in an international study that presents a new method to measure biological age—a key factor in predicting health outcomes and ...

All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...
