New data from a research study by Monash University researchers in Australia raises significant concerns that even short-term exposure to low level air pollution can affect gene expression, leaving us at risk of other diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Almost a decade in the making, the human protein map is now available thanks to a joint effort, involving over 80 researchers.

Improper removal of faulty brain cells during neurodevelopment may cause lifelong behavioral issues, according to researchers.

To understand how the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 enters the body and does its damage, a team of researchers are adapting using tiny models of the nose, mouth, eyes and lungs.

Scientists describe a more efficient way to sequence individual cells and visualize the massive amount of data that ensues.

Researchers in Germany have examined samples from non-virus infected patients and determined that the receptor for SARS-CoV-2 is primarily expressed in certain progenitor cells in the bronchi.

A team of scientists from Rothamsted Research have successfully adapted genetic techniques developed for crop improvement to be used in weeds – allowing them, for the first time, to directly study the genetics responsible for herbicide resistance.

Tiny biohybrid robots on the micrometer scale can swim through the body and deliver drugs to tumors or provide other cargo-carrying functions.

An intranasal vaccine using an RNA virus for gene delivery protects against fatal MERS coronavirus infections in mice. Researcher are now applying this knowledge to tackle SARS-Cov2.

New research led by hearing scientists at Oregon Health & Science University suggests an avenue to treat and prevent intractable genetic disorders before birth.
