CRISPR-Chip Detects Mutations in Minutes

News

Researchers are the first to combine the power of CRISPR's nucleic acid targeting with the ultra sensitivity of graphene, making it possible to digitally detect DNA without amplification.

Squishing Blood Stem Cells Could Facilitate Harvest for Transplants

News

Modulating blood-forming stem cells’ stiffness could possibly facilitate mobilization procedures used for stem cell-based transplants. Temporary squishiness could help drive blood-forming stem cells out of the bone marrow and into the blood.
