For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...
The rings of DNA inside mitochondria are inaccessible to these techniques, which means that precise edits to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) remain frustratingly out of reach. “Mitochondria missed the ...
Researchers have used CRISPR to switch back on a gene that vanished from the human lineage roughly 20 million years ago, reviving a natural defense against excess uric acid that our ancestors once ...
