Prostate cancer usually responds poorly to immunotherapy because the tumor hides from the immune system, earning the label of an “immune‑cold” cancer. A new RNA‑targeted CRISPR technology developed at Duke University School of Medicine and collaborating institutions re‑exposes these tumors to immune attack in mice by restoring a key protein complex on cancer cells that […]
CRG-150, a CRISPR-edited regulatory T cell therapy has entered first-in-human testing for solid tumors, marking an unusual and potentially important step in oncology. The program is aimed at metastatic breast and prostate cancers, two settings where treatment options remain limited once disease becomes advanced. What makes this approach different is the cell type being used. […]
A single infusion of a CRISPR-based therapy has significantly reduced attacks in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) in what appears to be the first successful Phase III trial of an in vivo gene-editing treatment. The findings, presented at a major European congress and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, mark a turning point […]
A new CRISPR system recently published in Nature could change how we think about selectively eliminating cancer cells without touching healthy tissue. Instead of using the classic Cas9 to edit DNA, researchers have repurposed Cas12a2, an enzyme that first binds to a specific RNA sequence and then unleashes a wave of DNA destruction across the […]
Scientists have discovered that a simple mix of three amino acids can greatly improve how well lipid‑nanoparticle (LNP)–based therapies work in the body. These LNPs are tiny fat‑like packages used to carry mRNA or CRISPR components into cells, and they are already at the heart of new vaccines and gene‑editing treatments. The new finding suggests […]
A new form of CRISPR technology developed by researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) and St Jude Children’s Research Hospital promises a safer path for treating genetic diseases by controlling genes without cutting DNA strands. Published in Nature Communications, the study demonstrates epigenetic editing that removes methyl groups (small chemical clusters […]
A new study shows, published on Nature, that a little-known protein called PTGES3 helps prostate cancer cells keep using male hormone signals to grow, even when treatments are trying to shut those signals down. Blocking this helper protein cut off the cancer’s fuel supply in lab tests and slowed tumors in mice, pointing to a […]
