New research suggests COVID-19 patients remain capable of transmitting the virus for several days after all symptoms of infection have disappeared. One small study, published in the American Journal of…
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have used nanoparticles to detect the protease activity of lung cancer, which can be read with a simple urine test. Lung cancer is the leading…
The 2019 Novel Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19 in humans, has spread around the world rapidly, far faster and to a much greater extent than similar coronaviruses such…
Humans have harnessed the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) system that bacteria use to remove foreign DNA from their genomes that has been inserted by viruses. Scientists are…
Infection with the 2019 Novel Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 does not cause symptoms for up to two weeks, during which time individuals can transmit the coronavirus to others. Coupled with a lack…
Researchers at Hubrecht Institute and University Medical Center at Utrecht University in the Netherlands have used a new version of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool to make edits to the…
A machine-learning algorithm has been developed to help find new antibiotics and has succeeded in identifying a molecule that has powerful antibiotic properties and can kill several types of bacteria…
A team of researchers at North Carolina State University have used the CRISPR-Cas3 gene editing system to target harmful bacteria in the gut microbiome that cause colitis, a form of…
