Athersys says it is working as fast as it can to launch a pivotal trial of its MultiStem® adult-derived "off-the-shelf" stem cell product in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), after the clinical program received...
Study: Whole genome sequencing can improve surveillance, control of gastroenteritis
A new study into one of the UK's leading causes of gastroenteritis has shown how whole genome sequencing can improve its surveillance and control of the disease.
Clostridium perfringens bacteria are responsible for an estimated...
Semi-Synthetic Organism Is Put Through Its Protein-Production Paces
The engineering of semi-synthetic organisms seemed to have stalled. Yes, they could be equipped with unnatural base pairs (UBPs), and DNA sequences containing these UBPs could be stably maintained and transcribed, leading to the...
Will Pairwise-Bayer Partnership Prove Palatable to Consumers?
Twelve months ago, Pairwise, a gene-editing company based in North Carolina, launched its first commercial product in the United States under the Conscious Greens brand. Despite widespread hesitancy, if not downright hostility, to genetically...

Alzheimer’s Disease Symptoms Lessened and Improved in Mice by Dopamine Treatment
A new way to combat Alzheimer’s disease has been discovered by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan. Using mice with the disease, the researchers found that treatment with dopamine...
Novel treatment strategy aims to overstimulate and exhaust cancer cells
Many new drugs inhibit the processes that cancer cells need to divide rapidly. So as to inhibit the cancer as a whole. But cancer cells have all sorts of workarounds to get around that...

Wastewater data unveils underreported Mpox cases in Texas
The Mpox virus (MPXV) was first isolated in 1959 from an infected monkey, while the first human monkeypox (Mpox) infection was detected in 1970 in a nine-month-old baby from the Democratic Republic of the...
Scientists weave atomically thin wires into ribbons
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in using nanowires of a transition-metal chalcogenide to make atomically thin “nanoribbons”. Bundles of nanowires were exposed to a gas of chalcogen atoms and heat...
