Gene-Edited Islet Cells Produce Insulin Without Immunosuppression

In a first‑in‑human trial, a type‑1 diabetes patient produced endogenous insulin after receiving CRISPR‑edited donor islet cells, with no immune reaction over a 12‑week follow‑up. Read more: getnews.me/gene-edited-islet-cells-... #diabetes #crisper

Gene‑Edited ‘Super Wood’ Cuts Chemical Processing, Boosts Carbon Storage

Maryland researchers used CRISPR base editing to knock out the 4CL1 gene in fast‑growing poplar, cutting lignin by one‑eighth and enabling chemical‑free densification that matches strength. getnews.me/gene-edited-super-wood-c... #crisper #bio

Can they repair the DNA?

CRISPR is used in landmark treatment to correct genetic misspelling of a single patient In a world first, scientists used CRISPR to fix a baby's unique genetic mutation. The report offers hope for personalized treatments of rare diseases.

In a medical first, doctors treated a baby with a rare genetic condition using a personalized gene-editing therapy.

The Return of the Dire Wolf Colossal Biosciences has genetically engineered the first dire wolf to live in over 10,000 years. Here's what that means for other extinct species.

#DireWolves are back after 10,000 years. Are neandertals next? What about 🦖? #CRISPER #GeneEditing #wolves #dogs time.com/7274542/colo...
