Linus survey finds top two techniques or applications in life sciences R&D
A new survey of scientists finds that the top two techniques or applications in life sciences research and development (R&D) are CRISPR/cell-line engineering and artificial intelligence/machine learning-enabled bioinformatics when it comes to driving scientific advancements. Read More
Production technique clears barrier to widespread study of intestinal organoids
The aggregation of cells removes variability from the production of small intestinal organoids, clearing a major hurdle to the widespread use of the technologies as a research tool for studying the digestive system, according to a paper published July 28 in Stem Cell Reports. Read More

Scientists discover biomarkers associated with acute, chronic phases of TBI
Arizona State University scientists have provided some of the first detailed view of the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind traumatic brain injury (TBI) as the condition progresses from the acute to the chronic phase. Read More
New DNA editing tool could enable more personalized cell therapies
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities researchers have developed a new tool to predict and customize the rate of a type of DNA editing called site-specific recombination, offering the potential for more personalized cell therapies. Read More
Repetitive DNA linked to cancer formation in study of replication process
Researchers have discovered that noncoding "junk" DNA could potentially contribute to the development of cancer. Repetitive DNA sequences can cause replication to stall, triggering a response that is similar to the one induced by DNA damage, according to a study published July 19 in Nature Communications.
