RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects. They can suppress infection by eliminating viral RNA, such as in coronaviruses, or regulate the expression of disease-causing […]
Pus, strep throat, and even tuberculosis—most infectious diseases are characterized by a cluster of pathogenic bacteria that can be stubborn and resistant to antibiotics. Now researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have found another […]
Thanks to a clever modification of the baculovirus, vaccines can now be produced in insect cells more easily and cleaner. Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) have successfully developed vaccine material without baculovirus contaminants.This […]
The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing technologies can alter or delete single base […]
The stem cell-based embryo model (SCBEM) takes advantage of the flexibility of pluripotent stem cells (non-reproductive cells that can give rise to many different types of cells) to resemble that of embryos. While this model […]
For the first time, scientists have successfully edited oat DNA, a breakthrough that could accelerate the development of oats with more fiber, higher yields, and greater resilience to climate change.This post was originally published on […]
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Embryo Models Working Group has released updated recommendations for the oversight and regulation of stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEM), aiming to address rapid advancements and ensure responsible […]
Human development is a beautiful, complex process. Beginning from just two germ cells, the cells divide and double until an entire organism is developed in just under a year.This post was originally published on this […]
With global oyster populations having plummeted by more than 85% from historical levels, researchers are feeling a sense of urgency to restore and monitor these critical marine ecosystems. But traditional methods of oyster reef monitoring […]
A team of biomedical researchers led by Michael Mak, Ph.D., in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, has developed a new method of bioprinting physiological materials. Called TRACE (Tunable Rapid Assembly of […]
