Here’s how it works. Scientists have transformed cancer cells into healthy muscle tissue in the lab using CRISPR gene-editing technology — and they hope new cancer treatments can be built on ...

For example, Gersbach's group reported a method for using CRISPR-based gene activation to convert human stem cells into muscle progenitor cells that could regenerate damaged skeletal muscle tissue ...

In one recent trial, Olson's team injected a harmless virus containing the CRISPR machinery into the muscle cells of six dogs who have the Duchenne gene. Inside, the enzyme beelined for the region ...

UC San Francisco scientists have used the CRISPR-Cas9 ... again transplanted into humanized mice. The stem cell-derived cardiac cells were able to achieve long-term survival and even began forming ...

In general, stem cells have the potential to develop into many different ... and no enlarged heart muscle tissue. So the researchers then took that knowledge and used CRISPR to turn the patient's ...

CRISPR-Gold is released into the cells' cytoplasm and breaks apart, rapidly releasing Cas9 and donor DNA. A single injection of CRISPR-Gold into muscle tissue of mice that model Duchenne muscular ...

Almost all of these involve removing cells from an individual ... by injecting gold nanoparticles carrying the CRISPR components directly into muscle. What’s more, Conboy’s team actually ...

The dogs receiving the CRISPR injections directly into their muscle also showed higher ... would essentially delete the mutation in muscle cells, and return the affected dogs to a nearly normal ...

RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects.

The researchers used the gene scissors CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce various ALS-causing mutations into human ... in the cells and their communication and necessary contacts with muscle fibers.

Although the research was conducted on human cells transplanted into mice, the new cell therapy, which hinges on CRISPR technology, could lead to a totally new way of treating obesity, diabetes ...

CRISPR-Gold is released into the cells' cytoplasm and breaks apart, rapidly releasing Cas9 and donor DNA. A single injection of CRISPR-Gold into muscle tissue of mice that model Duchenne muscular ...
