A nucleic acid-detecting diagnostics platform that harnesses the gene editing technology CRISPR was announced today by the newly-launched Mammoth Biosciences, which says the technology could change how we diagnose disease.

Over 30 years after its discovery, the detailed molecular structure of the longevity protein telomerase has been revealed, which may have implications for cancer treatment and bone marrow transplants.

Chronic wasting disease did not cross the species barrier to infect cynomolgus macaque monkeys during a lengthy investigation exploring risks to humans.

When it comes to cancer detection and diagnosis – the earlier the better. Cancer that remains undiagnosed until it is within ‘advanced’ stages is harder to treat successfully.

15-40 Connection’s mission is to empower patients and promote cancer conversation to ultimately improve cancer survival rates.

Target-based screening has been the method of choice in drug discovery for the past two decades, but phenotypic screening is having something of a renaissance. We look at the advantages and applications of both.

To unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, a team at Durham University is using an ambitious open-source project, dubbed EAGLE-XL, that aims to simulate our entire universe in a level of detail never attempted before.
