Introduction The CRISPR-Cas9 system represents a groundbreaking advance in gene editing and functional genomics, allowing scientists to target and modify specific genomic loci with precision. This...

Abstract: The experiment conducted in this research article explored the possibilities of using muscle stem cells to repair damaged and dysfunctional muscles. This type of therapy could be a form of...

General Idea This study investigates how social isolation affects brain function in mice, focusing on cognitive (thinking and memory) impairments. It also looks at how a substance called...

The HSIP program that I attended was also very valuable. The program gave me an unusual and broad exposure to the enormity and the diversity within medicine that I had not appreciated beforehand. It...

Back in November 2023, when I was researching various summer programs, I came across the Summer at Hopkins program and I was immediately drawn to it.  Johns Hopkins had always been one of my...

The paper introduces CRISPR-Cas systems as small RNA-based defense systems that execute adaptive and heritable immunity against viruses, plasmids, and other mobile genetic elements in archaea and...

Introduction The CRISPR-Cas9 system, which can be programmed to target specific genomic loci (position), offers a powerful tool for gene editing and functional genomics. This study demonstrates...

Overview of CRISPR CRISPR is a technology that enables researchers to edit parts of a genome. It works via the enzyme Cas9 and a guide RNA strand. Cas9 acts as a pair of ‘molecular scissors’ that can...
