Investigations of deceased COVID-19 patients have shed light on possible lung damage caused by the virus and may explain why patients suffer from long COVID.

Finding just the right model to study human development has been a challenge for scientists over the last decade. Now, bioengineers at UCSD have homed in on an unusual candidate: teratomas.

Extremely small antibodies, known as nanobodies, have been shown to neutralize SARS-CoV-2. But they're extracted from llamas and camels, which is problematic for a number of reasons. Now, scientists have identified a synthetic form of a nanobody, known as a sybody, which shows affinity to SARS-CoV-2 and neutralizing capabilities.

Scientists describe unexpected, undesirable outcomes after editing genes in human embryos with CRISPR, a genomic editing system.

Investigators have identified a subset of COVID-19 patients who cleared the disease faster and had a persistent antibody response, These findings may have important implications for understanding immunity.

Using artificial intelligence, UCPH researchers have solved a problem that until now has been the stumbling block for important protein research into the dynamics behind diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as in the development of sustainable chemistry and new gene-editing technologies.

Over the course of only a century, humanity has made an observable impact on the genetic diversity of the lion population. That’s the conclusion of a recently published study by Caitlin Curry and James Derr from the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

A cell in worms that transforms itself into a completely different type of cell when males mature has recently been discovered. In the cell switch, a glial cell becomes a sensory neuron, which enables the worms to improve their mating technique.

A new study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology suggests that the way in which DNA is packaged in retinal cells within owls' eyes is what helps them see at night.

A blood test already available to GPs in the UK is more predictive of ovarian cancer than previously thought and could also help pick up other forms of cancer, according to new research published in PLOS Medicine.
