Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new CRISPR tool that can not only switch genes on and off but can also sense the cellular environment and determine when certain…
A new CRISPR method has been developed and used to insert a minigene into mouse DNA which prevented the development of a genetic liver disease and improved clinical symptoms. The…
The results of a clinical trial that tested the safety of the CRISPR gene editing tool for editing T cells to treat cancer have been released and the results are…
Researchers in China have found further similarities between 2019-nCoV and SARS. It is now known that 2019-nCoV and SARS both bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enter into cells….
A promising new therapeutic target for treating Alzheimer’s disease has been identified by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies (CBIS). The compound, named C1 by…
Chemotherapy can be an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but many patients relapse to develop resistance to the treatment which can be due to leukemic stem cells –…
Infertile women and survivors of childhood cancer could have their fertility restored thanks to 3D printing technology and the work of researchers from Northwestern University and the Ann & Robert…
Noroviruses are the main cause of diarrhea and acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Noroviruses are highly contagious and are responsible for approximately 21 million cases of acute gastroenteritis in the United States…
A novel brain stimulation technique has produced promising early results for improving memory in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The technique is called ultrasound-guided transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) and sending ultrashort…
Researchers at the University of Colorado Cancer Center studying a gene that causes childhood leukemia have discovered a way to make hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that could be used in…
