A positive link has been found between tumor-associated blood stem cells and glioblastoma progression. This link is supported by evidence from experiments in which blood stem cells were co-cultured with tumor organoids. (The fluorescently labeled tumor organoids in this image were grown from patient cells.) In these experiments, the blood stem cells were shown to
Since leaving office in January, sales of former President Donald Trump’s branded properties have skyrocketed, according to a new report.

A University of Liverpool study could help scientists mitigate the future spread of zoonotic and livestock diseases caused by existing viruses. The researchers applied a machine learning (ML) artificial intelligence (AI) technology to predict more than 20,000 unknown associations between known viruses and susceptible mammalian species. They suggest the findings, published in Nature Communications, could be
Mosquito-borne viruses have proven to be particularly insidious, with dengue easily ranking as one of the worst offenders. Moreover, developing a viable vaccine against dengue virus has been especially challenging because the pathogen is actually four different serotypes. Without protection against all four, a vaccine can wind up doing more harm than good. To help
Gene drives have been established in insects, including fruit flies and mosquitoes, and mammals such as mice. Now, for the first time, the CRISPR-Cas9-based technology that disrupts Mendelian inheritance and allows for selective acquisition of target genes has been developed in plants. Establishing this genome editing technology in plants may allow for breeding resilient crops
Researchers from Intellia Therapeutics, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, and clinical partners have published the first-ever clinical data that support the safety and efficacy of in vivo CRISPR genome editing in humans. The team of researchers based in the U.S., the U.K., and New Zealand showed in a study that the companies’ lead in vivo genome editing candidate NTLA-2001 generated a dose-dependent

The approach of midsummer brings with it some familiar customs like picnics, amusement parks, snow cones, and (gulp) Christmas-in-July sales! While this kind of forward thinking is a boon to retailers, for me it’s also a great reminder that the holidays are closer than they seem. Using lessons from past years, my “mid-year resolution” is

Investigators at Baylor College of Medicine have been focused on understanding what causes the loss of communication or synapses between neurons in Huntington’s disease (HD).
