New CRISPR Technique Corrects Cystic Fibrosis in Human Stem Cells
Researchers have corrected mutations that cause cystic fibrosis in cultured human stem cells. The study shows that prime editing is safer than the conventional CRISPR/Cas9 technique.

How Resistance Training Burns Fat
A study has found that resistance-like exercise regulates fat cell metabolism at a molecular level. In response to mechanical loading, muscle cells release particles called extracellular vesicles that give fat cells instructions to enter fat-burning mode.

Muscle Strengthening and Aerobic Exercises Can Reduce Cancer Mortality
According to a systematic review, regular muscle strengthening exercises associated with aerobic activities can reduce cancer mortality.

What Should Seafood Made From Fish Cells Be Called?
Food companies, regulators, marketers, journalists and others should use the terms “cell-based” or “cell-cultured” when labeling and talking about seafood products made from the cells of fish or shellfish, according to a new Rutgers study.

A Single Vaping Session Can Increase Cellular Oxidative Stress in Non-Smokers
The risk that both tobacco and electronic cigarettes can pose to regular smokers’ health has been well documented, but a new UCLA study illustrates just how quickly vaping can affect the cells of even healthy younger non-smokers.

How Did Daddy Longlegs Get Their Long Legs?
The first genome of a daddy longlegs, sequenced by University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers, is giving up clues to the evolution of the gangly appendages that give members of the order Opiliones their common name.

Tiny Protein "Squeezes" Cells Like Balloon Animals
According to scientists, a protein that causes a cell’s skeleton to bend, allowing it to twist the cell into different shapes, could be key to how cells divide. Their results point to new ways to modify and engineer cells, as well as a better understanding of how they replicate.

New Mitochondrial Recycling Pathway Uncovered
Scientists have long known that living cells are master recyclers, constantly breaking down old parts and building them back up into new molecular machines. Now, researchers at Gladstone Institutes have taken a closer look at the life cycle of mitochondria inside brain cells and how they might be recycled.

Key ALS Marker Reversed in Stem Cell Study
Scientists have studied how proteins accumulate in the wrong parts of brain cells in motor neurone disease, and have demonstrated how it might be possible, in some cases, to reverse this.
