Revolutionary Nanosensing Method Enhances Quality Control of Viral Vectors in Gene Therapy

Researchers develop a nanosensing platform that can assess the quality of individual viral vector particles Viral vectors hold much potential for gene editing and gene therapy, but there is a pressing need to develop quality control methods to minimize potential side effects on patients. Addressing this, researchers from Japan developed a nanosensing-based approach that can

Revolutionizing Skin Health: Unveiling the Secrets of Sebum Production Through a Molecular Lens

Changes in gene expression in sebaceous glands have now been spatially mapped. The study documents at high resolution changes in gene expression in the course of sebum synthesis and identifies new candidates for the modulation of sebum production. In a collaborative project between the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Bioinformatics (IZBI)

Unraveling the Genetic Similarities: Humans and Baker’s Yeast in DNA Replication

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the first time a molecular complex -- called CTF18-RFC in humans and Ctf18-RFC in yeast -- that loads a 'clamp' onto DNA to

Uncovering the Genomic Trigger Behind Alzheimer’s Disease and Aging

Researchers have developed a way to study aged neurons in the lab without a brain biopsy, allowing them to accurately model the effects of aging in the development of late-onset Alzheimer's disease. By studying these cells, the researchers identified aspects of cells' genomes -- called retrotransposable elements, which change their activity as we age --

Revolutionary Small Molecule Offers Hope for Sickle Cell Patients Unresponsive to Hydroxyurea

Researchers found a small molecule that increases fetal hemoglobin production in human blood stem cells and leads to fewer sickled red blood cells in mice, providing proof of principle for developing more effective therapeutics for sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease, while rare, is the most common inherited blood disorder and affects over 100,000 people

Revolutionizing Genomics: The Future of RNA Chip Technology

An international research team has succeeded in developing a new version of RNA building blocks with higher chemical reactivity and photosensitivity. This can significantly reduce the production time of RNA chips used in biotechnological and medical research. The chemical synthesis of these chips is now twice as fast and seven times more efficient. An international

Younger Generations Face Increased Cancer Risks: A Closer Look at Generations X and Millennials

A new large study suggests incidence rates continued to rise in successively younger generations in 17 of the 34 cancer types, including breast, pancreatic, and gastric cancers. Mortality trends also increased in conjunction with the incidence of liver (female only), uterine corpus, gallbladder, testicular, and colorectal cancers. A new large study led by researchers at

Groundbreaking Study Reveals CBG’s Potential to Alleviate Anxiety and Stress in Humans

A lesser-known cannabinoid that is gaining in popularity Cannabigerol (CBG) effectively reduced anxiety in a clinical trial without the intoxication typically associated with whole plant cannabis. It may even have some memory enhancing effects, according to a new study. For the study, researchers conducted the first human clinical trial investigating the acute effects of CBG

Unlocking the Secrets of Nasal Immunity: Scientists Discover Hidden Immune Cells

Scientists uncover 'striking' immune cell populations poised to fight SARS-CoV-2 in upper airway. Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have published the first-ever, in-depth analysis of immune cell memory in the upper airways of adult volunteers. Among these immune cells, the researcher spotted "tissue resident" memory cells, which stand ready to defend the

Genetic Breakthrough Reveals Key Variant Linked to Uncommon ALS Recovery

Though exceedingly rare, some people diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) partially or fully recover from the lethal neurodegenerative disease. A better understanding of this baffling phenomenon, reported in medical literature for at least 60 years, could point to potential new treatment approaches. To that end, researchers launched a study of ALS recovery patients and

Harnessing Human Cells to Revolutionize Cardiovascular Research

The innermost layer of blood vessels is formed by endothelial cells, which in turn play a role in the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Human endothelial cells are therefore required for the 'in vitro' investigation of the causes of these diseases. Researchers have now established a highly efficient, cost-effective and reproducible way to

Revolutionizing Neurodevelopmental Disorder Diagnosis: The Hidden Clues in Our Skin
