Organic engineers at MIT have created a brand-new way to edit bacterial genomes successfully and program memories right into microbial cells by revising their DNA. Using this technique, various spatial and temporal information can be stored for generations and obtained by sequencing the cells’ DNA. The new DNA writing method, which the scientists call HiSCRIBE, […]
The neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate have complementary functions – GABA inhibits neurons, while glutamate makes them extra active. Published on July 22nd, 2021, in PLOS Biology, scientists led by Roi Cohen Kadosh and George Zacharopoulos from the University of Oxford revealed that degrees of these two neurotransmitters in the intraparietal sulcus of the brain could

On August 9, 2021, research from APC Microbiome Ireland (APC) at University College Cork (UCC), published in the leading international scientific journal Nature Aging, presents a new approach to invert aspects of brain deterioration and cognitive function related to aging through the microbes in the intestine. As our population ages, one of the leading global
