The raptors depicted in the Jurassic Park films were already fearsome at six feet tall, but now researchers have identified a colossal new raptor species with legs towering to that same height. Raptors constituted a varied array of dinosaurs resembling the iconic movie creatures, albeit varying in size. They shared a common body structure, featuring...
A particle in cow's milk enables RNA therapy to be given orallyDALL-E A recent study reveals that cow's milk contains nanoparticles capable of delivering RNA therapy orally, offering a promising avenue for more accessible treatments. This discovery is particularly significant as current RNA-based drugs necessitate injection, limiting their accessibility and affordability. Converting injectable medications into oral...

UK researchers at the University of Exeter have identified an unprecedented genetic mutation present in two siblings, unseen in any other individuals. This finding opens avenues for novel treatment strategies in the realm of type 1 diabetes. The mutation occurs within the gene responsible for encoding programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein. A recent study elucidates...
