A new gene delivery system taps a protein found in people to encapsulate messenger RNA (mRNA), the intermediary between genes and proteins, and transport it into cells. The technique may help researchers ferry gene therapies or the gene editor CRISPR into tissues throughout the body. “We’ve be…

Earlier this year, researchers reported striking similarities in the functions of 10 autism genes: They all affect brain size and boost the number of immature neurons in the brain. The work raised hopes of finding common biological paths to autism. Most studies on gene function are done in mice, but…
