Claims that HIV has been permanently eradicated from people living with the virus are false. More research, refined delivery ...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of virus-associated cancers, especially cervical and head and neck cancers. A ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," ...

The study will interest researchers studying genome organisation in mitosis. Genomes assume a complex 3D architecture in the interphase cell nucleus. Yet, the molecular mechanisms that determine ...

Engineered bacteria reprogram tumor macrophages and direct copper into cancer cells, triggering cell death and systemic immunity without damaging healthy tissue.

Recently, a review titled "Circulating tumor cell-derived organoids: current progress, applications, and future" was published in MedComm - Future Medicine. The article systematically summarises the ...

Researchers engineered and screened dozens of base editors to precisely target a single mutation without editing other portions of the DNA.

More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, ...

Every minute, all around us, battles are fought on a microscopic level. Bacteriophages (also known as phages) are viruses ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

Autophagy—meaning "self-eating" in Greek—is a fundamental cellular mechanism that preserves cell health by recycling and degrading worn-out or dysfunctional components. Serving as an essential ...
