[ad_1] Identifying and isolating people who may be contagious with the coronavirus is key to limiting the spread of the disease. But even months into the pandemic, many patients are still waiting days to receive COVID-19 test results. Scientists from UC Berkeley and the Gladstone Institutes have developed a new …

[ad_1] Recent experiments in cell cultures and in animals provide hope for the potential use of the CRISPR-Cas9 genetic engineering tool for the treatment of certain types of cancer. To understand, we interviewed Anna Gutkin, PhD student in nanomedicine, therapy through RNA, drug administration and co-author of the recent study …

[ad_1] San Francisco, CA, November 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Taking a major step forward in HIV research, scientists at Temple University’s Lewis Katz School of Medicine have successfully modified SIV, a virus closely related to HIV, the cause of AIDS – from the genomes of non-human primates. The turning …

[ad_1] Space travel was one of the greatest achievements of the last century. In fact, getting humans into space took so much time, effort, dedication and planning. However, there is still so much to learn. Recently, scientists have gained more insight into how space travel specifically affects the body at …

[ad_1] Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.November 25, 2020 With new insights into how the CRISPR genetic tool – which allows direct editing of our genes – has evolved and adapted, we are now one step closer to understanding the basics of the constant struggle for survival that takes place in …

[ad_1] In a recent medRxiv * preprint paper, the researchers of the Health Center of the University of Connecticut in the United States reveal their method CRISPR (WS-CRISPR) with digital hot start for rigorous quantitative and sensitive detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV -2) in clinical samples …

[ad_1] November 23, 2020 – Researchers say they used CRISPR, a new technology that allows scientists to modify a cell’s DNA, to destroy cancer cells in mice. The first research conducted on two types of metastatic cancer – ovarian cancer and brain cancer – have not been tested in humans. …

[ad_1] Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.November 19, 2020 Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers have shown that the CRISPR / Cas9 system is highly effective in treating metastatic cancers, a significant step on the road to finding a cure for cancer. Researchers have developed a new lipid nanoparticle-based delivery system that …

[ad_1] In a recent medRxiv * preprint manuscript, researchers from Singapore and the United States report the development of a digital CRISPR method for the sensitive, specific and rapid detection of viral nucleic acids at constant temperature, which could be exploited for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus …

[ad_1] Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.November 5, 2020 During the pandemic, infectious disease experts and frontline health workers demanded a faster, cheaper, and more reliable COVID-19 test. Now, leveraging so-called “lab on a chip” technology and the cutting-edge gene editing technique known as CRISPR, Stanford researchers have created a highly …
