UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T has the potential to treat many more cancers.

The powerful gene-editing technique CRISPR–Cas9 might offer a way to make safer, more effective cancer-fighting immune cells engineered inside the human body, a mouse study has found. Cancer-fighting ...

Targeted CRISPR lipid nanoparticles eliminated 50% of tumors in mice with head and neck cancer. Researchers from Tel Aviv University (Israel), led by Razan Masarwy, have investigated utilizing CRISPR ...

Drug resistance has long turned some of the most advanced lung cancer therapies into temporary victories, with tumors learning to shrug off chemotherapy that once held them in check. A new wave of ...

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

Scientists design therapeutic approaches for cancer around mutations and variations that affect disease onset and progression. However, these determinants can differ across populations, and what ...

A new kind of cancer gene therapy can be remotely activated at a specific part of the body. The team developed a version of CRISPR that responds to ultrasound, and demonstrated how it can be used to ...

Researchers have combined two gene editing methods. This enables them to quickly investigate the significance of many genetic mutations involved in the development and treatment of cancer. Researchers ...

In a major step forward for cancer care, researchers at ChristianaCare's Gene Editing Institute have shown that disabling the NRF2 gene with CRISPR technology can reverse chemotherapy resistance in ...

Immunotherapeutic strategies have made huge strides in cancer treatment for many solid tumors over the past decade. But the promising results have failed to make a large change in the treatment of ...

On October 22, Nobel Prize–winning biochemist Dr. Jennifer Doudna dined with supporters of UCSB Arts & Lectures (A&L) and the Cancer Foundation of S.B. (CFSB). The intimate, al fresco dinner party at ...
