In vitro CRISPR system allows scientists to detect broad outcomes
December 6, 2019 -- As CRISPR technology advances, it is crucial to identify all unintended and potentially harmful changes introduced by gene-editing processes. A new study published in Communications Biology introduces a new system that details broad spectrum outcomes of gene-editing reactions in an unbiased fashion.  Discuss
Scientists identify chaperones as potential therapies for Parkinson's disease
December 5, 2019 -- Researchers from the University of Basel have identified the malfunctional relationship and master regulatory mechanisms between chaperone proteins and α-Synuclein occurring in Parkinson's disease. The findings were published in Nature on December 4.  Discuss
Scientists build artificial neurons to cure chronic disease
December 4, 2019 -- Scientists from the University of Bath have achieved a first-of-its-kind artificial neuron on a silicon chip that behaves like a real biological neuron. The technology, published on December 3 in Nature Communications, is intended to cure chronic diseases, such as heart failure or Alzheimer's disease.  Discuss

A discovery of fungi – helping researchers identify new drugs
November 26, 2019 -- To address the need to identify new therapeutic targets, researchers at the Hubrecht Institute turned to fungi. The researchers tested secondary metabolites from over 10,000 fungi species and identified 34 biological active compounds with the potential to move to the next step of therapeutic drug development. The research was published in Scientific Reports on November 26.  Discuss
Designer DNA traps dengue virus
November 25, 2019 -- Researchers from Rensselear Polytechnic Institute have developed a new approach to trap the dengue virus, a close relative to the Zika virus, in the bloodstream using innovative nanotechnology. The technique was published in Nature Chemistry on November 25.  Discuss
New method reveals 3D DNA structure
November 22, 2019 -- The scientist who developed a new method of illuminating 3D genomic structures, called Dip-C, is awarded the SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists by the Science for Life Laboratory in Sweden and the journal Science. The research of the grand prize winner, Longzhi Tan, builds on the work of the Human Genome Project by developing an algorithm to capture diploid chromosome conformation.  Discuss
