For the first time, scientists safely repair single-gene mutation in human embryos
Scientists correct a disease-causing mutation in early stage human embryos with gene editing. The technique, done for the first time, uses the CRISPR-Cas9 system, corrects...
German scientists develop self-disposing supramolecular materials with a time switch
German scientists develop self-disposing supramolecular materials, materials that disintegrate at a predetermined time. The materials have varied applications from drug delivery to garbage recycling. The...
