CRISPR/Cas9 Approach for Cystic Fibrosis Treatment
Cystic Fibrosis News Today
CRISPR/Cas9 is an experimental therapeutic approach for treating cystic fibrosis (CF). The therapy features a novel protein-RNA complex that is designed to address the genetic mutations that cause the disease by editing a patient’s genetics, correcting …

Stem Cells Broaden Potential If Deprived of miRNA
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
By losing a single miRNA, pluripotent stem cells may accomplish a rare feat: they may become totipotent. That is, they may give rise not only to all the tissues of a developing embryo, but to extraembryonic tissues—the placenta and yok sac. In short …

Embryonic Stem Cells Reprogrammed to Expand their Potential Cell Fates
Scicasts (press release) (blog)
While typical embryonic stem cells (left) are unable to make tissues like the placenta, which allow the embryo to communicate with the mother, blocking a microRNA unleashes the potential to make these extra-embryonic tissues (red cells, right). Image …
