CRISPR Gene Editing Offers a Potential Alternative

CRISPR gene editing offers a potential alternative. A new study by Intellia Therapeutics aims to treat hereditary angioedema using CRISPR technology. Bradykinin is responsible for vascular permeability, where significant increases in bradykinin caused by stress, illness, or trauma leads to severe, painful, and life-threatening swelling. The molecular mechanisms that drive the angioedema seen in the […]

The CORD7 Mutation Found in Humans Increases Verbal IQ and Working Memory

The CORD7 Mutation Found in Humans Increases Verbal IQ and Working Memory Intelligence in its rawest form is not equally distributed among the human population. While many can critically think and problem solve, others lack these skillsets. However, what is known is that just like height, eye color, and the shape of our nose, these […]

CRISPR Engineered Bioimplants

CRISPR Engineered Bioimplants Inflammation is a natural and necessary biological process that helps with wound healing as well as combating infection. However, the adage “too much of a good thing” is as relevant in a biological system as in our day-to-day lives. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease state that primarily affects the […]
