These molecules can specifically target cancer cells and disrupt their growth and proliferation, while sparing normal cells. Ten years ago, genome sequencing unveiled a...
The human mind is an amazing entity; thanks to its 100 billion neurons, we are able to walk, talk, create, think, and grow, among countless other things. Humanity, on the other hand, motivates us to strive for more, push the limits of our cognitive capacity, and learn novel abilities. Telekinesis, which enables us to...
One of the research projects being carried out by the experimental biologists in the Martin Laboratory at the University of Lausanne, under the direction of professor Sophie Martin, involves using light to trigger processes within genetically modified fission yeast cells. When team members were carrying out these experiments, they noticed that a certain protein...
New Frameshifting Therapy Effective Against Mast Cell Cancers A team of researchers at North Carolina State University has developed a new frameshifting therapy that has shown promising results against mast cell cancers in mice. Mast cell cancers are a type of cancer that affects the immune system and can be difficult to treat. In the...
Holstein cows in the pasture. Credit: tilo/iStock A study from the University of Kent, the University of Nottingham, and L'Alliance Boviteq Inc. has created an approach of dramatically boosting in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in cattle. This advancement is bound to substantially decrease maternity problems in cows, raise general meat and milk production, and convert a channel for...
University of Washington and Microsoft researchers have introduced a new class of reporter proteins that can be directly read by a commercially available nanopore sensing device. Raw nanopore signals stream from the MinION device, which contains an array of hundreds of nanopore sensors. Each color represents data from an individual nanopore. The team uses...
To work with light to activate processes within genetically modified fission yeast cells is amongst the research conducted by the experimental biologists in the Martin Laboratory at the University of Lausanne, led by Professor Sophie Martin. Team members were conducting such experiments when they saw that a specific protein would become displaced from the...
Scientists from the University of Kent, the Research Institute for Environment Treatment, and Vita-Market Ltd have found the universal mathematical formula that can explain any bird's egg existing in nature, which has been unsuccessful previously. Egg-shape has long drawn in the interest of mathematicians, engineers, and biologists from an analytical point of view. The shape...
Scientists from IDC Herzliya and Bar-Ilan University established a unique software device to evaluate possible CRISPR-induced errors. CRISPR modern technology enables researchers to edit genomes by modifying DNA series and hence changing gene features. Its many possible applications include fixing genetic defects, dealing with and preventing the spread of conditions, and bettering plants. Genome editing tools,...
The continuing development of new SARS-CoV-2 mutations allows the virus to spread more effectively and also avert antibodies. However, it is unclear whether brand-new strains can escape T-cell immunity - one of the body's main lines of protection against COVID-19. The development of a T-cell immune reaction is significantly governed by genetic factors, consisting of...
