CRISPR-Cas9 is more than just a buzzword—it's a revolutionary tool redefining how we treat diseases, enhance agriculture, and even rethink the ethics of genetics. From curing genetic disorders like sickle cell anemia to creating drought-resistant crops, the possibilities are endless. 
As we enter 2025, the potential for CRISPR to reshape our world has never been greater. Read the full article here: https://learningbreeze.com/biology/crispr-cas9-is-transforming-the-future-of-gene-editing/

Everybody give a little clap for Theresa Gaffney's brilliant headline in Morning Rounds today.
Today's edition is a can't-miss:
- the NIH is resisting tyranny using bumper stickers & printouts taped to bathroom stalls (complete with a picture)
- the CRISPR babies scientist is posting Mean Girls-inspired memes (that are, honestly, fire)
They Didn't Make Dire Wolves, They Made Something…Else

I feel like this video is an important one to share. I'm glad he also shed some light on the importance of publicly funded research, people don't seem to realize just how much of the science that comes out of private companies are built on studies from academia.
""Heritable polygenic editing: the next frontier in genomic medicine?” this week (January 8, 2025) in Nature. That this has met with barely a whimper on social media is astonishing, so I feel the need to comment. "

The Omen Media · What Does Colossal Biosciences Do? De-Extinction Secrets Unveiled with Peter Jackson and George R.R. Martin TiesEver wondered What Does Colossal Biosciences Do? This Dallas-based biotech powerhouse is rewriting the rules of science by bringing extinct species back to life—think Jurassic Park, but with a real-world twist.Founded in 2021 by tech entrepreneur Ben Lamm and geneticist George Church, Colossal Biosciences uses cutting-edge CRISPR technology to tackle de-extinction, with their latest triumph being the revival of the dire wolf.The company’s Hollywood-worthy story doesn’t stop there—it’s backed by
#JurassicPark made real: Meet #Romulus and #Remus, two specimen of the previously extict #DireWolf that has been brought back to life using #CRISPR technology. Wow.

www.linkedin.comSOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000… | Brandon Fugal | 459 commentsSOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.
The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal Biosciences from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.
But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us. Congrats to my friend Ben Lamm, George Church & the whole team at Colossal. Proud to be an early investor. | 459 comments on LinkedIn

#Consumers can oppose new food technologies due to low understanding. Information delivery—explaining benefits—can elicit a positive response.
