The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on the dangerous possibility of biological warfare. And China seems to be preparing for such a war as seen by various writings and speeches from people with military ties. In 2010, a professor from the Third Military Medical University stressed the importance of biological warfare in his book ...
A team of scientists from the U.S. has succeeded in genetically editing the immune cells of cancer patients through CRISPR. The results of the experiments were published in the journal Science, and provide hope that the technique might one day be used in patients to effectively treat cancer. Editing cancer cells “Researchers at the University ...
A team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Neuroscience has cloned a group of five monkeys from a single donor. Their success has attracted widespread condemnation from several ethics experts and animal welfare organizations since some genes have been edited out from the monkeys so that the researchers can conduct medical ...
When Chinese scientist He Jiankui declared in November that he had created genetically modified babies using CRISPR technology, the scientific community was horrified. Human gene editing is something that most countries have put strict restrictions on because of the various moral and medical implications surrounding the issue. And although the U.S. also has laws against ...
Artificial Intelligence and gene editing are two of the most rapidly growing technologies in the world because of their amazing potential to transform humanity. However, combining AI with gene editing not only offers the potential of an incredible future where every human being is “perfect,” but also raises some serious ethical questions that are tough ...
In what could prove to be a breakthrough in the treatment of brain cancer, a group of scientists has discovered that the gene-editing software CRISPR enabled them to shut down brain cancer’s immortality switch. Cancer’s immortality switch The research team, led by the neurosurgery expert Joseph Costello, studied glioblastoma brain cancer cells extracted from cancer ...
