Recent research has shown that certain forms of E. coli bacteria tend to colonize hypoxic areas of the body, including tumors, suggesting they might be playing a role in cancer therapeutics. A team of researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute led by Dr.…

Lance Seefeldt and Zhi-Yong Yang are among a Gates Foundation-funded collaboration publishing new knowledge in PNAS that could simplify genetic transfer of nitrogen fixation to food crops.

UC San Diego geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an “e-Drive” that reverses insecticide resistance and then disappears…

New genetic biocontrol offers hope against disease-carrying mosquitoes and agricultural pests









Scientists at Macquarie University have developed a 'Toxic Male Technique' that engineers male

The first artificial genome of its kind.

For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this molecular tool has been applied to plants, animals, and even bacteria.…

Experts praise groundbreaking results from therapy using genetically modified Car T-cells

Scientific Reports - Generative inpainting of incomplete Euclidean distance matrices of trajectories generated by a fractional Brownian motion

Mosquitoes have long been among humanity’s most formidable adversaries, plaguing us for thousands of years and causing more deaths than any other animal. With traditional control methods facing mounting resistance, researchers are seeking innovative ways…

Japanese researchers have successfully eliminated the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome using CRISPR gene editing.

By insertion of six bacterial genes into the genome, autonomously glowing mice were generated.

Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insufficient production of the hormone insulin by cells in the pancreas called beta cells and estimated to affect 9.5 million people worldwide. Low insulin levels allow glucose levels to remain elevated, which in the long term…

They’re gorgeous, dazzling, passionately pursued, and worth billions.

Nature - Gene-editing technique promises a potentially safer way to create CAR T cells with a simple injection.

Nature Communications - Biologics and protein-based drugs often require frequent, costly injections. Here, authors have engineered a hookworm to continuously produce and secrete a therapeutic human...
