The gene editing landscape is moving away from the "one-size-fits-all" approach of the early CRISPR days toward highly specialized, niche applications. One of the most prominent trends is the development of "Inducible CRISPR," where the editing activity can be turned on or off using specific drugs or light. This provides a layer of control that is vital for therapies where the timing of the...

  Safety in the laboratory is a multi-layered discipline, and the primary layer is the containment vessel itself. Recent years have seen a significant increase in the use of plastic-coated glassware. This "safety-coated" glass combines the chemical resistance of borosilicate with a protective polymer exterior. In the event of a drop or high-pressure failure, the coating holds the glass...
