Chinese scientists will be the first to use CRISPR gene editing in human patients
A lung cancer diagnosis is serious business. But in China, scientists are using a revolutionary technique to treat lung cancer: Chinese scientists are preparing to set a world’s first by treating lung cancer patients with immune cells modified using the CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing technique. The team of clinical researchers hopes the modified immune cells will…
Biotech creates artificial forests of the future
Some engineers think that a catastrophic climate event is coming, and they are pointing to giant fly-swatters and freight containers as a solution. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers has designed “artificial forests,” with technologies that absorb CO2, in a similar way to trees. Below is a photo of what this could look like in…
