A healthy mind is an ultimate ingredient for a happy life. Many people across the globe prefer mental peace over physical tranquility, thereby, indicating the importance of a good mood. The greatest obstacles to mental health are anxiety and depression.
Getting anxious about daily errands is completely normal and necessary (especially for procrastinators like us!) to get things done…
Ever since the CRISPR/CAS-9 technique was discovered and later on, when its miraculous uses were brought to light, it has kept on surprising the scientists due to its potential.
This wonderful technique is indeed going to help solve several mysteries related to life and would unravel the causes behind several impossible diseases and problems that are prevalent in the world today. The…

Why Gene Editing Is The Next Food Revolution
Gene Editing has numerous uses in our lives today, which include treatment of inherited conditions like heart diseases, viral infections, and the potential prevention of certain types of cancers. However, its use is not only limited to medicine and can be used in the agriculture industry as well, where the natural food sources may be enhanced in nutrition, size, and color and made more resistant…
Commonly encountered allergic conditions include Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis, Atopic Dermatitis, Urticaria, Conjunctivitis, and different food allergies. These are caused by a trigger of immune response in the body, which results in eosinophilic inflammation and skewing of the immune responses towards the type 2 helper cells. Moreover, allergic conditions like food allergies also involve the release…
The CRISPR-cas9 technology has endless biomedical and biological applications that could forever alter our world.
For the past decade it has caused quite a stir in the scientific community.
But not everyone is as excited.
Specifically, philosophers, skeptics, and average citizens who are concerned with the moral and ethical implications of the ever-advancing technology.
Some of…
The newly discovered RNA-guided genome editing system known as CRISPR-Cas9 allows efficient and precise targeting of specific genes and offered numerous benefits over the previously used Gene Therapy systems.
Gene Therapy
Gene Therapy is a system that involves alteration of the DNA or RNA of an organism to facilitate therapeutic uses. It can be used for the treatment or preventative of…
Ten years ago, the world had yet to be formally introduced to the term “gene editing.” Now, scientists all over the world are researching the harmful and beneficial effects of gene editing. Plant geneticists want to breed the high yield plant while critics warn against modified food’s undesirable effects on health and the ecosystem. Medical specialists wish to cure hereditary…
What Are the Uses of Gene Editing?
The development of genome editing technologies has opened the possibility of targeting and altering the gene sequence of almost all eukaryotic cells. The application of gene editing can be used in various disciplines. Current legislation deems it illegal to edit a genome beyond the 14 days of a developmental embryo.
Gene Editing for Disease Treatment…
Definition:Genome editing (also known as genome engineering or gene editing) was first pioneered in 1990 and defined as:
‘a technique used for modification of DNA within a cell by cutting at particular sequence by an enzyme (engineered nuclease), which leads to a change in physical traits.’
This technological advancement allows genetic material to be added, modified, or…
