A genome-editing technique known as prime editing holds potential for treating many diseases by transforming faulty genes into functional ones. However, the process carries a small chance of inserting errors that could be harmful.This post […]
Like its namesake, Janelia’s GENIE Project Team makes wishes come true. Luckily for biologists, this genie doesn’t grant just three requests.This post was originally published on this site
To solve a problem, we have to see it clearly. Whether it’s an infection by a novel virus or memory-stealing plaques forming in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, visualizing disease processes in the body is […]
The continually expanding toolkit from Mohit Verma’s laboratory at Purdue University now includes a portable, paper-based biosensor for identifying genetically modified (GM) corn and soybean. The GM crop biosensor, based on a method called loop-mediated […]
The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as “gene scissors,” which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and stay healthy. Researchers at […]
Typically, plants rely on the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to usable organic matter for growth. Although this cycle is the main pathway for carbon fixation in all plants on […]
Alexander Fleming’s accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928 changed the world: Once-common bacterial infections, sometimes deadly, were treatable, and a slew of antibiotics followed. But bacteria have proven a wily adversary, adapting to resist antibiotic […]
A joint research team from POSTECH and Inha University researchers has successfully developed a novel biomaterial that overcomes the limitations of natural elastin.This post was originally published on this site
If you’ve ever accidentally sliced yourself on broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed that the bleeding can be hard to stop. Scientists have long wondered how the cascade of events […]
Biologists have long known that amino acids can help stabilize proteins, for example as additives to pharmaceutical formulations. In trying to understand why this works, EPFL and MIT researchers have discovered a fundamental stabilizing effect […]
