Gen düzenlenmiş bebekler Bebeklerin Genlerini Düzenlemek Güvenli Hale Mi Geliyor? CRISPR Teknolojisinde Yeni Dönem Gen düzenleme teknolojileri, son yıllarda tıp dünyasının en dikkat çekici araştırma alanlarından biri haline geldi. Özellikle CRISPR teknolojisinin gelişmesiyle birlikte kalıtsal hastalıkların henüz doğum gerçekleşmeden önlenebilmesi ihtimali bilim insanlarının gündeminde yer alıyor.…

The global base editing market size was estimated at USD 228.2 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 681.2 million, growing at a CAGR of 13.46% from 2025 to 2033. Rising prevalence of chronic & rare diseases, increased application of genomic research in therapeutics, and increased government funding & growing focus on genomic studies are the factors driving the base editing industry. Key…

Weekly reads & paper of the week: gene-editing vs. aging

The paper of the week reports using base-editing, a kind of gene-editing, to reverse mutations associated with rapid aging syndromes, generally called progeria, but there are a lot of other interesting pubs to recommend for reading this week. I go over it all in this post. Base-editing improves aortic morphology in a mouse model of aging where overall aging is improved as well. “Representative…

Recommended recent stem cell, cancer, & CRISPR reads

What’s on your weekend reads list including stem cell papers?

In addition to hard-core research papers, I find some bigger picture publications to be helpful too. Then there are just fun items.

Every so often I do a post about things that I’m hoping to find time to read over the weekend or that I’ve recently read. Today’s post is one of those items and here are some interesting science reads…

Heads up on Hui Yang, another potential aspiring CRISPR baby researcher

Making a CRISPR baby is a controversial idea to even propose now for many reasons, yet even after He Jiankui’s train wreck some people have seemed eager to try it including apparently a scientist whose name perhaps many readers here are not so familiar with in this context: Professor Hui Yang.

‘CRISPR baby guys’

Is it really a good time to be pushing CRISPR babies? The original “CRISPR baby guy”
