Stanford researchers have developed a method to target and lower alpha-synuclein, a major protein constituent of Lewy bodies that accumulate in the brain in Parkinson's disease, using viral gene transfer of mutant Cas9 coupled with a small guide RNA targeting the promoter regi
Researchers at Stanford have developed a CRISPR-based system to degrade viral RNA, with potential applications as both an anti-viral therapeutic and a prophylactic treatment against influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and other viruses.
Stanford inventors have developed a method of using CRISPR/Cas9 or similar gene editing technologies to genetically edit an individual's own myeloid cells for specific gene targets, which are critical to wound repair, and applying these edited cells in a hydrogel to promote ra
