After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One-third of patients develop heart failure as a ...

A recent study utilizing cryo-EM advances our understanding of how bacterial immune systems function and reveals new aspects ...

In just the past few years, researchers have found a way to use a naturally occurring bacterial system known as CRISPR/Cas9 to inactivate or correct specific genes in any organism. CRISPR/Cas9 gene ...

Rice University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based gene activation strategy that boosts mitochondrial production in damaged heart cells, improving cardiac function after heart attacks in both ...

Immunotherapeutic strategies have made huge strides in cancer treatment for many solid tumors over the past decade. But the promising results have failed to make a large change in the treatment of ...

Gene editing, a set of techniques used to alter sections of an organism's DNA, is helping scientists cure diseases previously ...

With the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas technology, the DNA of living organisms can be precisely altered. Using a guide RNA that recognizes a specific DNA sequence, Cas9 protein is recruited to that ...

A UCO team has applied the genome editing technique, which garnered a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020, to unravel the functions of two genes involved in the metabolism of beans and that could not be ...
