Scientists have described the characteristics of CD8 immune cells in "HIV controller" patients and used the information on the unique antiviral power of these immune cells to reprogramme cells from individuals who can't fight the infection.

Scientists have made use of a deactivated Cas13 to guide NA Editing for Specific C to U Exchange (RESCUE) to targeted cytosine bases on RNA transcripts, and used a novel, evolved, programmable enzyme to convert unwanted cytosine into uridine -- thereby directing a change in the RNA instructions.

By preventing a protein from doing its job, researchers discovered that it may be possible to keep a certain type of ovarian cancer cell from growing and dividing uncontrollably.

More than half of the drugs that have entered the market in Germany since then have emerged from these assessments without any proven added benefit. In a new publication using the first 216 assessments, researchers examine the reasons for this sobering result and develop suggestions for improvements in drug development.

A team has found that the gene "mEAK-7" may play a significant role in cancer metastasis, at least in lung cancers.
