Naked mole-rat found to have lost infection-resistant proteins
Scientists have found that the naked mole-rat—an underground rodent that lives up to 40 years—has lost a number of CD1 functional genes. The CD1 gene family in mammals is responsible for protein synthesis that protects the body against infectious.....»»
Researchers discover tumors inherited by generations of jellyfish-like creatures
Researchers from the CANECEV laboratory, an international collaboration between Deakin University and the University of Montpellier, have observed for the first time the birth of transmissible tumors in freshwater brown hydras—tiny, jellyfish-like.....»»
Compact "gene scissors" enable effective genome editing, may offer future treatment of high cholesterol gene defect
CRISPR-Cas is used broadly in research and medicine to edit, insert, delete or regulate genes in organisms. TnpB is an ancestor of this well-known "gene scissors" but is much smaller and thus easier to transport into cells......»»
