In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA using a genetic tool known as a base editor. The results, published in the open-access ...
On the younger, black-rock islands of the Galápagos archipelago, wild-growing tomatoes are doing something peculiar. They're shedding millions of years of evolution, reverting to a more primitive genetic state that resurrects ...
A study by WEHI scientists has shed new light on one of the most fundamental mysteries of biology: how cells divide and grow into the complex structures that make up our bodies.
A novel evolutionary technique, designed to select E. coli strains capable of more efficiently metabolizing acetate—a sustainable, cost-effective carbon source—has been developed by a research team led by Professor Donghyuk ...
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) production could be revolutionized by the discovery that a common bacterium can turn everyday plastic waste into the painkiller. The new method leaves virtually no carbon emissions and is more ...
Researchers at DTU Biosustain (The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability at DTU) have developed a new tool that significantly accelerates and simplifies the genetic engineering of yeast strains used in industrial ...
Capstan Therapeutics scientists demonstrate that lipid nanoparticles can engineer CAR T cells within the body without laboratory cell manufacturing and ex vivo expansion. The method using targeted lipid nanoparticles (tLNPs) ...
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics have developed a novel synthetic micropeptide termed the "killswitch" to selectively immobilize proteins within cellular condensates, unveiling crucial connections ...
In an advance for agriculture, a new study reveals how wheat plants actively influence the microbial communities living on and inside their roots—and how these root microbiomes change over time depending on conditions such ...
Penn-led researchers have turned a deadly fungus into a potent cancer-fighting compound. After isolating a new class of molecules from Aspergillus flavus, a toxic crop fungus linked to deaths in the excavations of ancient ...
