When Martin Kampmann, PhD, set out to explore the workings of the human brain, he was captivated by its greatest mystery: how a network of cells could produce something as intangible as thoughts, ...

The CRISPR–Cas system forms the basis of therapeutic gene editing, whereby a guide RNA directs a DNA-cutting enzyme to a targeted gene — usually a mutated one that produces a disease-causing protein.

CRISPR excites ambition. Just consider a few CRISPR applications: gene drives (showing promise as a way to prevent malaria); ex vivo and in vivo gene therapies (entering clinical trials); and ...
