Demeetra AgBio reports that it is advancing its pipeline for therapeutic cannabinoids and expects to file an IND for its lead candidate with the FDA early next year. The company’s Cas-CLOVER™ gene editing tool, in combination with its bioprocessing capabilities, will allow it to discover and manufacture rare and novel cannabinoids, creating opportunities for clinical
Two new studies cast light on disease processes in tuberculosis (TB), identifying key genetic changes that cause damage in the lungs and a drug treatment that could speed up recovery. The findings are reported in two papers in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. In the first study (“Integrated transcriptomic analysis of human tuberculosis granulomas and
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School (HMS), and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, have linked a gene mutation signature that is indicative of DNA damage, with high red meat consumption and increased cancer-related mortality in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The results, the scientists suggest, could feasibly lead to the development

Scientists at Oregon State University (OSU) report that a pair of compounds originating from hops can help thwart a dangerous buildup of fat in the liver known as hepatic steatosis. The findings “Tetrahydroxanthohumol, a xanthohumol derivative, attenuates high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis by antagonizing PPARγ“), published in eLife, are important because the condition affects roughly one-fourth
The sperm’s ability to fertilize an egg depends on its ability to swim. The astounding motility of the sperm depends on mitochondria that power it, an acrosomal vesicle filled with enzymes that dissolve the thick walls of the egg and a protective sheath that covers it. Mutations in any of these structural components of the

The pituitary gland is the size of a pea, but it plays a major role in the endocrine system. It is often called the master gland because it controls several other hormone glands in the body. Almost all pituitary hormones are altered by aging in humans, often in a manner dependent upon sex, body composition,
Studies in non-human primates (NHPs) by NYU Grossman School of Medicine researchers have shown how a new type of immunomodulatory therapy can stimulate the activity of immune defense cells and reduce the amount of misshapen proteins, amyloid beta plaques and tau tangles that are linked with the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The research found

The central dogma of molecular biology explains the flow of genetic information from self-replicating DNA to RNA and from RNA to protein. The critical molecular machines responsible for this unidirectional flow of information, polymerases, were until now, believed to be incapable of writing RNA recipes back into DNA code. In a new discovery, scientists provide
