In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally evolved gene-editing system that can activate genes, offering an advantage ...

In 1976, Richard Dawkins published a book titled after an idea he’d come up with while teaching a lecture on animal behaviour for his PhD supervisor. It just so happened that the idea of The Selfish ...

New research suggests that a single gene may play an outsize role in developing Alzheimer's, which suggests gene therapy for the condition could reach many people. When you purchase through links on ...

Abstract: In this paper, the GEP method is utilized to derive an ontological model for creep data, focusing on the mechanical properties and structural deformation mechanisms of solder at different ...

The authors describe the scientific foundations of a study of gene therapy for hearing loss caused by damaging variants in the gene OTOF. Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, ...

Diet can leave lasting epigenetic marks that reshape gene expression, metabolic pathways, and disease susceptibility across the lifespan. These diet-driven molecular changes may create a form of ...

After dumping its sole remaining gene therapy asset last year, Pfizer has decided to exercise its option for global rights to Beam Therapeutics’ liver-targeted gene editing candidate. The agreement, ...

Jason Mast is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the science behind new medicines and the systems and people that decide whether that science ever reaches patients. You can reach Jason ...

Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells remain largely unknown—yet understanding this is crucial for optimizing ...
