CRISPR has also found many applications in developing cell-based immunotherapies. [177] The first clinical trial involving CRISPR started in 2016. It involved taking immune cells from people with lung cancer, using CRISPR to edit out the gene expressed PD-1, then administering the altered cells back to the same person. 20 other trials were ...
CRISPR gene editing is a revolutionary technology that allows for precise, targeted modifications to the DNA of living organisms. Developed from a natural defense mechanism found in bacteria, CRISPR-Cas9 is the most commonly used system, that allows "cutting" of DNA at specific locations and either delete, modify, or insert genetic material.
Francisco Juan Martínez Mojica [a] (born 5 October 1963) is a Spanish molecular biologist and microbiologist at the University of Alicante in Spain.He is known for his discovery of repetitive, functional DNA sequences in bacteria which he named CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats).

A malaria vaccine with 77% efficacy after 1 year – and first to meet the WHO's goal of 75% efficacy – is reported by the University of Oxford. [119] [120] CRISPR gene editing is demonstrated to decrease LDL cholesterol in vivo in Macaca fascicularis by 60%. [121] [122]
Cas12a (CRISPR-associated protein 12a, previously known as Cpf1) is an RNA-guided endonuclease that forms an essential component of the CRISPR systems found in some bacteria and archaea. In its natural context, Cas12a targets and destroys the genetic material of viruses and other foreign mobile genetic elements , thereby protecting the host ...
