Researchers have successfully eliminated latent herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) in mice using a new type of gene editing technique. While there is currently considerable research being conducted using the…
Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany have identified new potential targets for retinitis pigmentosa, one of the most common causes of congenital blindness. Retinitis pigmentosa is one of the most…
A new cellular protection pathway has been identified that targets a vulnerability shared by several viruses including coronaviruses and Ebola. The vulnerability was identified by researchers at Benaroya Research Institute…
Researchers at McMaster University have found a way to make pediatric brain cancer respond better to treatment. The most common type of brain cancer in children is medulloblastoma (MB), which…
For the first time, researchers at Michigan State University have created a miniature human heart model in the laboratory that includes all the primary heart cell types, vascular tissue, and…
An international team of researchers has discovered why certain gliomas develop resistance to the chemotherapy drug temozolomide. Gliomas are the most common type of brain tumor and can occur in…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe symptoms in some patients, while other are entirely asymptomatic. The reason why this is the case is one of the many mysteries of the…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 causes the respiratory disease COVID-19 which, for the majority of individuals, is a relatively mild disease that will resolve on its own without intervention over the course…
Three recent studies suggest using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool to make changes to the DNA of human embryos results in large unwanted changes to the DNA near the target…
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and a diagnosis of the condition usually means a relatively poor outlook for patients. The cancer is usually only detected…
