A promising technique using CRISPR editing could restore muscle function in up to 60% of DMD patients, authors say.

Certain genes are suppressed in response to sounds played out of a loudspeaker, a new study suggests.

Researchers describe how a region of the brain called the lateral vestibular nucleus (LVN) is key to maintaining balance and keeping the body on its feet after experiencing a disturbance.

Neuroscientists ask, could klotho become a therapy for humans to improve brain health and protect against aging and disease?

Scientists have imaged the molecules that act at the genetic level to give rise to different types of cells. Some of these molecules are a complex of proteins called the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) that is involved in “silencing” genes so that they are not “read” by the cellular machinery.

One of today’s sharpest imaging tools, super-resolution microscopy, produces sparkling images of what until now has been the blurry interior of cells, detailing not only the cell’s internal organs and skeleton, but also providing insights into cells’ amazing flexibility.

MAESTRO, a next-generation platform for X-ray experiments, is enabling scientists to observe the behavior in some atomically thin – or 2-D – materials, and find out what happens when they are stacked like Lego bricks in different combinations with other ultrathin materials.

Until now the use of adenoviruses in tumor therapy has been very limited. They lack the ability to infect cancer cells and therefore cannot inject the genetic blueprints for the therapeutic molecules to fight the disease. Researchers have now succeeded in rebuilding the viruses so that they effectively recognize and infect tumor cells.

A new optogenetic tool allows disruption of proteins in response to blue light illumination.

The Frequency (or Selective) Testing Module for the Matrix Gemini LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) further enhances the versatility of the LIMS.
