Point mutations in the lamin A (LMNA) gene cause several human diseases, ranging from congenital muscular dystrophy to premature aging, collectively known as laminopathies, which affect skeletal ...
Whole-brain genome editing to correct single-base mutations and reduce or reverse behavioral changes in animal models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has now been achieved. Fudan University and ...
A change in just one letter in the code that makes up a cancer-causing gene can significantly affect how aggressive a tumor is or how well a patient with cancer responds to a particular therapy. A new ...
Researchers at Fudan University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China, have conducted whole-brain genome editing targeted to correct a single-base mutation associated with autism ...
