We have the potential to end the HIV epidemic. But why hasn’t it happened yet?
The first CRISPR gene therapy to cure sickle-cell disease
In 2019, CRISPR gene-editing therapy was used for the first time to treat sickle cell disease.
Protein-Protected Metal Nanoclusters That Behave Like Natural Enzymes
Protein-protected metal nanoclusters have excellent biocompatibility and have received considerable attention as a luminescent probe in a number of fields such as biosensing, bioimaging, and imaging-guided therapy.
Volumetric bioprinting: The new paradigm in regenerative medicine
“This work opens new avenues for material scientists and biologists to mimic in the lab the structure of living tissues and to upscale the production of engineered constructs.” ~ Dr. Riccardo Levato and Prof. Chris Moser.
Study Reveals Hepatitis A Originated in Insects
Unraveling the mystery of viral evolution, scientists discover a similarity between hepatitis A and the Triatoma virus that infects blood-sucking kissing bugs.
A Tail of Two Pathways: Regulation of mRNA 3’ Ends During Cellular Stress
While it might not feel like it, the cells in our body are under constant stress. Cellular exposure to stress such as UV radiation contributes to DNA lesions that the cell responds to by initiating DNA repair pathways. If these lesions are not dealt with, mutations...
