genetic engineering

The CRISPR gene editing tool begins human trials to understand why some embryos fail to develop properly.

As biotechnology develops, it is becoming more and more economically necessary to patent genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

In people with Down syndrome, the pair of chromosomes number 21 is repeated forming a trio and causing an intellectual disability that affects one in every 700 children born. Now, thanks to genetic engineering, scientists have managed to deactivate the extra gene in stem cells, which could open the doors of new treatments.

A great traveler, writer and specialist in Bioethics, Dr. Lee M. Silver is also one of the most brilliant minds in analyzing the dangers behind genetics.
