Until recently, it was unclear how and why cancer cells adapt to their environment. A team has now developed a technology that can be used to observe the molecular processes in living cells. Source: Molecular reporters expose the allies of the brain tumor
Continue Reading →Modified CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing scissors are enabling researchers to make alterations to the genetic material of single-cell organisms that are indistinguishable from natural mutations. This method is making it possible to develop a (harmless) experimental live vaccine for the widespread parasite Toxoplasma gondii.

Continue Reading →By drawing from decades of studies, scientists created a timeline marking the arrival of black-legged ticks, also known as deer ticks, in hundreds of counties across 10 Midwestern states. They used these data – along with an analysis of county-level landscape features associated with the spread of ticks – to build a model that can […]

The research shows how optogenetic technology can be used to investigate the health impacts of gut bacteria. Source: Light flips genetic switch in bacteria inside transparent worms

Continue Reading →Apathy — a lack of interest or motivation — could predict the onset of some forms of dementia many years before symptoms start, offering a ‘window of opportunity’ to treat the disease at an early stage, according to new research. Source: Apathy could predict onset of dementia years before other symptoms
Continue Reading →Meier-Gorlin syndrome, or MGS, is a rare genetic developmental disorder that causes dwarfism, small ears, a small brain, missing patella and other skeletal abnormalities. One mutation causing MGS, first reported in 2017, is a Lysine 23 to Glutamic acid (K23E) substitution in the gene for Orc6. Researchers have now put that mutant human gene into […]
