Researchers have developed CAARRD, a CRISPR-based RNA detection method that works at room temperature without amplification or heating. The test is 10,000 times more sensitive than current ...

Two recent studies identified gene knockouts that may make CAR T-cell therapy more effective, but the next step is applying the hypotheses in humans.

Tulane University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based test that diagnoses Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) - a life-threatening fungal infection primarily affecting children and ...

Baby KJ's medical team intend to ask the FDA to start a clinical trial that would be open to patients with seven different ...

More than 10 million people develop tuberculosis (TB) each year, yet about 40% go undiagnosed. The main culprit is reliance on sputum-based testing, which many patients—particularly those who are ...

An MIT spin-off company called Sherlock Biosciences has gotten FDA approval to begin using its CRISPR-based COVID-19 test, which promises to be faster and easy to perform without access to a full lab.

Tulane University researchers have developed an enhanced CRISPR-based tuberculosis test that works with a simple tongue swab, a potential breakthrough that could allow easier, community-based ...

Researchers are racing to develop quick, home-based tests for the virus that could deliver test results in minutes. None do that yet, but several... CRISPR And Spit Might Be Keys To Faster, Cheaper, ...

For three days in December, an ICU room at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania bore witness to the first-ever merging of two powerful new technologies poised to change the future of ...
