Erasing or replacing errors in a patient’s genetic code can treat and cure some genetic diseases
Scientists have found that there are human genetic diseases that might be treatable, and perhaps even curable, through gene editing.
A Narrow Review on Progress Towards Gene Therapies to Treat Aging
There are a great many genes that one might target with gene therapies to treat aspects of ageing.
Living with artificial intelligence: how do we get it right?
By mid-century, we may have artificial general intelligence (AGI) – machines that are capable of human-level performance.
Human genome editing offers tantalizing possibilities – but without clear guidelines, many ethical questions still remain
Gene editing is a rapidly advancing field that has the potential to revolutionize the way we treat and prevent genetic diseases.
What is artificial intelligence – and what is it not?
AI is a field of study characterised by the use of machines that are capable of performing tasks that usually would have required human intelligence.
CRISPR Gene-Editing Technique Reverses Vision Loss in Mice
The techniques used by the researchers could go beyond retinitis pigmentosa and could be a frontrunner in treating other genetic diseases.
AI isn’t close to becoming sentient – the real danger lies in how easily we’re prone to anthropomorphize it
The real issue is the ease with which people project human features onto our technologies, rather than the machines' actual personhood.
Somatic genome editing therapies are becoming a reality – but debate over ethics, equitable access and governance continue
The prospect of curing certain diseases by changing the parts of our DNA that cause them is becoming a reality.
Scientists create mice with two biological fathers
Prof. Katsuhiko Hayashi, a globally respected expert in the field, has created eggs from the cells of male mice.
Here are five things to know about the future of being human
With a greater understanding of ageing, new methods to decelerate the decline of biological processes are being developed, resulting in longer lives.
