Bioengineers learn the secrets to precisely turning on and off genes
In a recent study led by the University of Bristol, scientists have shown how to simultaneously harness multiple forms of regulation in living cells to strictly control gene expression and open new avenues for improved biotechnologies......»»
New technique reveals genes underlying human evolution
One of the best ways to study human evolution is by comparing us with nonhuman species that, evolutionarily speaking, are closely related to us. That closeness can help scientists narrow down precisely what makes us human, but that scope is so narrow.....»»
Tumors illuminated brightly and precisely with new biodegradable nanoprobe
New nanoprobes tested in zebrafish could help detect cancer more accurately and might aid diagnosis and therapy in the future......»»
The global inequity in venture financing is staggering
I am surprised that more VCs aren't investing in Africa. It smells like investing arbitrage. The pandemic has ripped the Band-Aid off investing via Zoom, making Africa is precisely as close to your in-house office as Europe, North America, Latin Amer.....»»
Scientists show drought-tolerant crops need skin in the game
The Holy Grail of crops that can survive long heat waves and drought may be a step closer with scientists finding a way to precisely measure a plant's water loss through its skin......»»
Severe winter drought in Nepal precisely predicted by model
Nepal media reported on March 5, 2020 that the country experienced severe drought in the past winter. The total rainfall dropped by 75% as compared with the normal average for the season. Shortage of rain had a major impact on irrigation, ruining vas.....»»

Remote control for quantum emitters
In order to exploit the properties of quantum physics technologically, quantum objects and their interaction must be precisely controlled. In many cases, this is done using light. Researchers at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Quantu.....»»
Tumors illuminated brightly and precisely with new biodegradable nanoprobe
To highlight tumors in the body for cancer diagnosis, doctors can use tiny optical probes (nanoprobes) that light up when they attach to tumors. These nanoprobes allow doctors to detect the location, shape and size of cancers in the body......»»

Scientists use lipid nanoparticles to precisely target gene editing to the liver
Scientists developed a highly efficient, targeted method for delivering gene editing machinery to specific tissues and organs, demonstrating the treatment of high cholesterol by targeting genes in the liver of mice, reducing cholesterol for over 3 mo.....»»
Scientists use lipid nanoparticles to precisely target gene editing to the liver
The genome editing technology CRISPR has emerged as a powerful new tool that can change the way we treat disease. The challenge when altering the genetics of our cells, however, is how to do it safely, effectively, and specifically targeted to the ge.....»»
How SARS-CoV-2"s sugar-coated shield helps activate the virus
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is coated with sugars called glycans, which help it evade the immune system. New research shows precisely how those sugars help the virus become activated and infectious and could help with vaccine and drug.....»»
Nanobodies could help CRISPR turn genes on and off
The genetic tool CRISPR has been likened to molecular scissors for its ability to snip out and replace genetic code within DNA. But CRISPR has a capability that could make it useful beyond genetic repairs. "CRISPR can precisely locate specific genes,.....»»
