Next, they're going to try it on human cancer patients.

Doctors Fight Deadly Tumors Using Gene-Hacked Virus

In a landmark study, researchers have used gene editing to remove the oral herpes virus (HSV-1) in mice. The technique could also work in humans.

Asterisk in Mice

"I hope this study changes the dialog around herpes research and opens up the idea that we can start thinking about cure, rather than just control of the virus."

Scientists Use Gene-Hacking to Seemingly Cure Herpes in Mice

Scientists gene-hacked human cells to fully integrate that structures that let some squids turn transparent, giving the cells the ability to scatter light.

Splinter Cell

They gave human cells squid-like active camouflage.

Scientists Gene-Hack Human Cells to Turn Invisible

The longfin inshore squid can alter its own genetic code on the fly, and new research shows its the first animal to do so outside of its cells' nuclei.

Genetic Life-Hack

This cool squid could lead to better genetic treatments for humans.

Scientists Discover That a Squid Can Edit Its Own Genetic Code

When scientists released gene-hacked mosquitoes into the wild population in Jacobino, Brazil, they thought it would quell the bugs. They had no such luck.
