CRISPR/dCas9 Tools: Epigenetic Mechanism and Application in Gene Transcriptional Regulation.
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated cleavage of DNA, which depends on the endonuclease activity of Cas9, has been widely used for gene editing due to its excellent programmability and specificity. However, the changes to the DNA sequence that are mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 affect the structures and stability of the genome, which may affect the accuracy of results. Mutations in the RuvC and HNH regions of the Cas9 protein lead to the inactivation of Cas9 into dCas9 with no endonuclease activity. Despite the loss of endonuclease activity, dCas9 can still bind the DNA strand using guide RNA. Recently, proteins with active/inhibitory effects have been linked to the end of the dCas9 protein to form fusion proteins with transcriptional active/inhibitory effects, named CRISPRa and CRISPRi, respectively. These CRISPR tools mediate the transcription activity of protein-coding and non-coding genes by regulating the chromosomal modification states of target gene promoters, enhancers, and other functional elements. Here, we highlight the epigenetic mechanisms and applications of the common CRISPR/dCas9 tools, by which we hope to provide a reference for future related gene regulation, gene function, high-throughput target gene screening, and disease treatment.

Common strategies in silkworm disease resistance breeding research.
The silkworm, which is considered a model invertebrate organism, was the first insect used for silk production in human history and has been utilized extensively throughout its domestication. However, sericulture has been plagued by various pathogens that have caused significant economic losses. To enhance the resistance of a host to its pathogens,numerous strategies have been developed. For instance, gene-editing techniques have been applied to a wide range of organisms, effectively solving a variety of experimental problems. This review focuses on several common silkworm pests and their pathogenic mechanisms, with a particular emphasis on breeding for disease resistance to control multiple types of silkworm diseases. The review also compares the advantages and disadvantages of transgenic technology and gene-editing systems. Finally, the paper provides a brief summary of current strategies used in breeding silkworm disease resistance, along with a discussion of the establishment of existing technologies and their future application prospects. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

CRISPR/Cas9-Based Safe-Harbor Gene Editing in Rhesus iPSCs.
NHP iPSCs provide a unique opportunity to test safety and efficacy of iPSC-derived therapies in clinically relevant NHP models. To monitor these cells in vivo, there is a need for safe and efficient labeling methods. Gene insertion into genomic safe harbors (GSHs) supports reliable transgene expression while minimizing the risk the modification poses to the host genome or target cell. Specifically, this protocol demonstrates targeting of the adeno-associated virus site 1 (AAVS1), one of the most widely used GSH loci in the human genome, with CRISPR/Cas9, allowing targeted marker or therapeutic gene insertion in rhesus macaque induced pluripotent stem cells (RhiPSCs). Furthermore, detailed instructions for screening targeted clones and a tool for assessing potential off-target nuclease activity are provided. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Genome Editing among Bioethics and Regulatory Practices.
In the last decade, genome editing technologies became very effective and several clinical trials have been started in order to use them for treating some genetic diseases. Interestingly, despite more than 50 years of discussion about the frontiers of genetics in human health and evolution, the debate about the bioethics and the regulatory practices of genome editing is still far from satisfactory answers. This delay results from an excessive emphasis on the effectiveness of the genome editing technologies that is relevant for the regulatory practices, but not at a bioethical level. Indeed, other factors (such as accessibility and acceptability) could make these techniques not accepted at the bioethical level, even in the presence of their 100% effectiveness.

Programmable molecular microscopy: CRISPR/Cas fluorescent probes revolutionizing spatiotemporal genomic imaging.
Bioimaging technologies visually resolve spatiotemporal dynamics of biomolecules, cells, and tissues, enabling essential insights into gene regulation, disease mechanisms, and drug metabolism. CRISPR/Cas-based fluorescent probes transform CRISPR from "genetic scissors" into "molecular microscopes," providing an indispensable tool for in situ decoding of molecular events in living systems. Their high nucleic acid specificity establishes CRISPR/Cas as a pivotal technology for dynamically monitoring genomic and transcriptomic events at live-cell and in vivo levels. This work systematically outlines design strategies and functional mechanisms of mainstream CRISPR/Cas fluorescent probes for bioimaging, encompassing five categories: fluorescent proteins, synthetic dyes, smart gated probes, nanomaterials, and multimodal integrated probes. Recent advances and persistent challenges in achieving high-sensitivity targeted imaging, effective signal amplification, and precise delivery control are comprehensively examined, including analysis of their advantages, limitations, and adaptability in complex biological environments. Building on breakthroughs in in vivo delivery systems, diverse carriers demonstrate significant potential for enhancing CRISPR/Cas transport efficiency, improving tissue penetration, and enabling spatiotemporal controlled release. Continued innovation drives CRISPR/Cas imaging platforms toward higher sensitivity, enhanced biocompatibility, and multifunctional integration, thereby fostering the convergence and broad application of gene editing and molecular diagnostics.

The regulatory frameworks surrounding CRISPR-edited papaya and their impact on international commerce.
The papaya tree (Carica papaya L.), native to the Americas, is cultivated in tropical regions and holds substantial economic importance, with an estimated export volume of 365 000 t in 2023. However, diseases caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria, and nematodes can lead to severe losses. Among the more than 38 known viral diseases affecting papaya, only a few poses serious threats to cultivation, notably Papaya Ringspot, Papaya Mosaic, and Papaya Sticky Disease (PSD). Emerging technologies, particularly CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, offer promising avenues to enhance plant resistance. This study examines regulatory paradigms in key papaya-producing and importing countries, highlighting the need for international regulatory harmonization to reduce trade barriers and improve market access for CRISPR-edited cultivars. We demonstrate the feasibility of CRISPR-based genome editing in papaya (Carica papaya L.) by targeting phytoene desaturase as a proof-of-concept marker gene and β-1,3-glucanase, a resistance gene identified through proteomic profiling of host-pathogen interactions during infection by the papaya meleira virus (PMeV and PMeV2) complex. This virus complex causes PSD, a major threat to papaya production, rendering the fruit commercially unviable due to negative effects on texture and flavor as well as inhibiting the formation of benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), and the fruits become susceptible to fruit flies, which are quarantine pests. Despite extensive traditional breeding efforts, resistant papaya genotypes have yet to be identified, underscoring the need for innovative approaches. However, translating advancements into commercial applications remains challenging due to the diverse and often inconsistent regulatory frameworks governing genome-edited crops across different jurisdictions. © 2026 The Author(s).

Predicting CRISPR/Cas9-Induced Mutations for Precise Genome Editing.
SpCas9 creates blunt end cuts in the genome and generates random and unpredictable mutations through error-prone repair systems. However, a growing body of recent evidence points instead to Cas9-induced staggered end generation, nonrandomness of mutations, and the predictability of editing outcomes using machine learning models.

CRISPR-based gene therapy for huntington's disease: current advances and future prospects.
CRISPR-Cas9 technology offers transformative potential in treating Huntington's Disease (HD) by directly addressing its genetic root causes. This manuscript explores the pathophysiological mechanisms of HD, characterized by toxic mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein resulting from expanded CAG repeats in the HTT gene, and the challenges posed by current therapeutic limitations. We comprehensively review the mechanisms of CRISPR-based therapeutic strategies, including excision of expanded repeats, allele-specific targeting, and epigenome editing, highlighting their efficacy in preclinical studies using animal models and human iPSCs. Delivery methods, such as viral and non-viral vectors, are analysed for their role in optimizing therapeutic outcomes while minimizing off-target effects and immune responses. Ethical and safety considerations, especially regarding precision and long-term impacts, are critically examined alongside emerging strategies to enhance specificity. With ongoing clinical trials and advancements in delivery systems, CRISPR technology represents a paradigm shift in addressing HD and broader neurodegenerative conditions. This review underscores the promise of gene editing in overcoming existing barriers and paving the way for transformative therapeutic approaches.

NHEJ inhibitor SCR7 and its different forms: Promising CRISPR tools for genome engineering.
The CRISPR-Cas system currently stands as one of the best multifaceted tools for site-specific genome engineering in mammals. An important aspect of research in this field focusses on improving the specificity and efficacy of precise genome editing in multiple model systems. The cornerstone of this mini-review is one of the extensively investigated small molecule inhibitor, SCR7, which abrogates NHEJ, a Ligase IV-dependent DSB repair pathway, thus guiding integration of the foreign DNA fragment via the more precise homology directed repair during genome editing. One of our recent studies sheds light on properties of different forms of SCR7. Here, we give a succinct account on the use of SCR7 and its different forms in CRISPR-Cas system, highlighting their chemical properties and biological relevance as potent efficiency-enhancing CRISPR tools.

[Not Available].
There are many reasons why we might think that the human species might be in danger. We talk about global warming which produces major unusual natural disasters; increasingly destructive weapons; serious terrorist attacks with chemical weapons, etc. But we cannot ignore one of the threats hanging over the human species, which is transhumanism or posthumanism. It is from the point of view of this last subject, on which much has already been written, that we will try to focus our analysis, paying particular attention to the question relating to gene editing (CRISPR/Cas 9).
