CRISPR revolutionized: New method edits genes directly in the body
Most approved gene therapies today, including those involving CRISPR-Cas9, work their magic on cells removed from the body, after which the edited cells are returned to the patient. This technique is ideal for targeting...
Plant receptors that control immunity and development share a common origin
Plants are continuously evolving new immune receptors to ever-changing pathogens. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) have traced the origin and evolutionary trajectory of plant immune receptors. Their discovery will...
Antimicrobial Resistance Multiple Threats, Multiple Responses
When we turn our attention to emerging global threats, we know what to expect: grim statistics, dire predictions, and—perhaps worst of all—disturbing revelations that no preventive or corrective actions commensurate with the threats have...
Scientists uncover a way to “hack” neurons’ internal clocks to speed up brain cell...
The neurons that make up our brains and nervous systems mature slowly over many months. And while this may be beneficial from an evolutionary standpoint, the slow pace makes growing cells to study neurodegenerative...
Cerebellum plays key role in exercise-induced anxiety relief
"Only exercise can remove all kinds of doubts," Goethe said. Physical exercise is the lubricant between the body and the mind. Alleviation of anxiety by motor activity forms an integral part of our daily...
