When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they'd stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could use to edit the DNA of ...
Genetically engineered cell lines used in biomedical research have long been prone to misidentification and unauthorized use, wasting billions of dollars each year and jeopardizing critical scientific discoveries. These problems ...
With the power to rewrite the genetic code underlying countless diseases, CRISPR holds immense promise to revolutionize medicine. But until scientists can deliver its gene-editing machinery safely and efficiently into relevant ...
Since its release in 2024, the open-source platform BindCraft, developed at EPFL, has already disrupted the world of protein design. Â鶹ÒùÔºical interactions between proteins influence anything from cell signaling and growth ...
One of our most popular summer soft fruits could last longer in the fridge thanks to new research conducted at Cranfield University. In Frontiers in Genome Editing, researchers have published a new method to edit the DNA ...
Gout, a form of arthritis caused by crystals that build up in joints and cause swelling and pain, is one of humanity's oldest diseases. Scientists at Georgia State University may have found an ancient solution to treat it.
In 1935, a species known as the giant neotropical toad (Rhinella marina) was introduced to Australia.
Tomato plants possess a sophisticated system to protect themselves against herbivores: the signaling peptide Systemin triggers a cascade of plant defense responses.
The complex 3D shapes of brains, lungs, eyes, hands, and other vital bodily structures emerge from the way in which flat 2D sheets of cells fold during embryonic development. Now, researchers at Columbia Engineering have ...
A new study led by the University of Oxford in collaboration with Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, University of Greenwich, and the Technical University of Denmark could provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution to help ...
