Programmable RNA-sensing technology enables manipulation of specific cell type
Researchers have developed a programmable RNA-sensing technology that triggers the production of a payload protein when it encounters specific cell types, with potential applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. Read More
Challenge to textbook model of GPCR-mediated signaling opens door to new therapies
University of California, San Diego researchers have challenged the textbook model of how G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate signaling in a study that could change how drugs against widely pursued targets are developed, including multiple forms of cancer. Read More
Researchers develop way to observe bacteria in 3D environments such as tissues
Hydrogels have enabled Princeton University researchers to see how bacteria grow in 3D environments, enabling them to make unprecedented observations of bacterial colonies in their natural 3D state. Read More
Healing properties of senescent cells raise questions about anti-aging research
University of California, San Francisco researchers have found some senescent cells help to heal damaged tissues, raising questions about the merits of killing them to address age-related diseases. Read More
