LOCKR: A New Way to Control Cellular Function Synthetically
July 2019 | Science News
Research team has created a totally synthetic system to act like a switch that can change gene expression, protein interactions, and the biological functions in a cell. The synthetic protein 'switch' is called LOCKR (Latching, Orthogonal Cage/Key pRotein) and has the ability to control cells with designer proteins ushers in a new era of biology.
Microrobots could soon provide targeted drug delivery
July 2019 | Science News
Researchers have developed microrobots that could soon transport drugs to regions of the body that are not easily accessible without surgery. In addition, the microrobots their journey inside the body can be monitored from outside the body using sensors.
Pilot study of 5-hour molecular test accurately distinguishes malignant and benign breast tumors
July 2019 | Science News
A team of investigators reports that a new laboratory test they developed to identify chemical changes to a group of cancer-related genes can accurately detect which breast tumors are cancerous or benign, and do it in far less time than gold-standard tests on biopsied breast tissue.
Exosomes May Hold Key to Brain Circuit Development
July 2019 | Science News
Investigators have published new data showing that exosomes are not only integral to the development of neurons and neural circuits, but they can restore health to brain cells affected by developmental disease.
Risk of neural tube defects slightly higher for babies of women on HIV therapy containing dolutegravir
July 2019 | Science News
Study data suggested a potential risk for neural tube defects among infants whose mothers began receiving dolutegravir around the time of conception. At the International AIDS Society Conference, the researchers reported the full analysis of the study data collected through March 2019.
Study provides new insight into how changes in DNA methylation contribute to diseases
July 2019 | Science News
researchers have now succeeded for the first time in studying what happens when DNA methylation is lost in human cells. These findings provide new insight into how changes in DNA methylation contribute to diseases.
Could Parkinson’s Disease Be Triggered by Gut Infection Years before Symptoms Develop?
July 2019 | Science News
Researchers have found that a mild gut infection can result in motor symptoms and brain pathology resembling Parkinson’s disease (PD) in mice that carry a gene mutation known to be associated with the disorder in humans.
Osteoarthritis linked to higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease
July 2019 | Science News
Researchers have investigated the link between osteoarthritis and mortality in an epidemiological study. It was shown that the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease was higher for people with osteoarthritis than for the rest of the population.
Revealing Protein Interactions by Studying the Genome
July 2019 | Science News
Researchers have found evolutionary signatures that bacterial gene pairs have in common. Using this approach, the scientists discovered hundreds of protein interactions that were unknown before this. Now the technique is being used to find protein interactions in humans.
Team Develop Nanoscale Bioabsorbable Wound Dressing
July 2019 | Science News
Scientists are harnessing the combined power of organic nanomaterials-based chemistry and a natural product found in crustacean exoskeletons to help bring emergency medicine one step closer to a viable solution for mitigating blood loss, from the hospital to the battlefield.
