The rise of gene-edited embryos has raised a myriad of ethical questions. It involves altering DNA to prevent disease or even to choose specific traits using a method known as CRISPR. In 2018, Chinese ...

Genetic regulation of glucose homeostasis is central to the maintenance of human health and the prevention of metabolic disorders such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Recent advances in molecular ...

Rob Reynish asks readers to look behind the political labels to what science can do to keep our food industries from falling ...

Advances in genetic engineering have given rise to an era of foods—including genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and gene-edited foods—that promise to revolutionize the way we eat. Critics argue ...

Gene-edited crops are no safer than GMOs, and fast-tracking regulatory approval could trigger a costly backlash.

The gene editing technologies market is driven by technological advancements enhancing precision, expanding applications in personalized medicine, and rising genetic disorder prevalence. Despite ...

The prime editor is a fusion protein consisting of a catalytically impaired Cas9 nickase (Cas9n) and an engineered reverse transcriptase (RT). The Cas9n is guided by a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) ...

Europe’s firewall against genetic modification gets a major crack under a new deal. Crops tailor-made using new gene-splicing techniques should face fewer regulations than genetically modified ...

CRISPR technology seeks to enable precise and targeted genetic modifications in crops. The gene editing technique offers a solution to shape how the food and agricultural sector produces agrifood, as ...
