Developing new tools to edit genes Having the right tool for the job matters. In gene editing, size can make a big difference. Scientists often rely on CRISPR technology to edit genes and correct disease-causing mutations. The approach has transformed biomedical research and is advancing new therapies for a wide range of diseases. However, one … Continue reading Researchers develop smaller CRISPR tool for gene editing

Even the early worm gets old: study unlocks a key to aging
A new study poses the question, ‘When does aging really begin?’ One glance in the mirror every morning is enough for me to know that regardless of where it begins I know where it’s going. And it’s not pretty. But enough about me. Getting back to the question about aging, two researchers at Northwestern University … Continue reading Even the early worm gets old: study unlocks a key to aging
