Genetic regulation of glucose homeostasis is central to the maintenance of human health and the prevention of metabolic disorders such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Recent advances in molecular ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

What are Living Modified Organisms (LMOs)? Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using modern biotechnology techniques, such as genetic engineering.

CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, ...

Discover how scientists are harnessing the power of CRISPR to precisely edit DNA, revolutionizing medicine and ethics as they rewrite the very code of life. Pixabay, PublicDomainPictures CRISPR ...

Zimislecel is an allogeneic stem cell-derived islet cell therapy that could eliminate the need for insulin in those who have type 1 diabetes. Regulatory submissions are expected in 2026, and if ...

Proteogenomics explores how genetic information translates into protein expression and function, and the role of changes across DNA, RNA, and proteins in influencing disease development and ...

Genetic testing for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can tell doctors if someone has leukemia, what type they may have, and whether treatment is working. The tests look for atypical changes in certain ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

Imagine if scientists could reach back through time and recover the genetic blueprints of species that vanished thousands of years ago, then use those ancient instructions to rebuild lost traits in ...
