Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...
Genome-wide association studies have linked thousands of genetic variants to disease, yet most remain disconnected from drug-relevant biology. Neville Sanjana, Professor at New York University and ...
A major medical milestone took place in May 2025, when doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia used CRISPR-based gene editing to treat a child with a rare genetic disorder. Unlike earlier ...
Researchers at Columbia University’s Sadelain lab and University Hospital Tubingen used CRISPR gene editing to knock out the transcription factor NFIL3 in engineered CAR T cells, and the modified ...
A decade on from the launch of an ambitious project, it’s time to revisit the reasons for constructing a human genome from ...
How does HIV, armed with only nine genes, manage to hijack the immune system so effectively? For decades, researchers have known that the virus depends on human proteins to enter, replicate, and ...
