A research team has uncovered a previously unknown type of immune signaling molecule—a novel compound combining histidine and ...

S cientists have knocked out genes that trigger cane toad tadpoles to turn into active toads, turning them into "Peter ...

The human immune system is highly complex and well-equipped to combat most bacteria. However, in some instances bacteria can cause life-threatening infections and the increase of antibiotic-resistant ...

Developed from a derivative of the immune system of bacteria, CRISPR enables double strands of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be cut. This makes it possible to specifically modify a ...

CRISPR–Cas, a bacterial defence system that recognizes and slashes specific sequences in viral genomes, gave scientists the power to delete or edit genes with remarkable precision. Developed in ...

It was there that she became excited about “working on the chemistry of life,” and led her to eventually begin studying RNA and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, a bacterial .

Introduction: Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection is still an ongoing public health issue worldwide. The most efficient tool in preventing HBV infection remains vaccination and significant efforts have ...

In a new study published in the scientific journal Nature Communications, researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the mechanism of how ...

CRISPR/Cas9 technology has revolutionized genetic and biomedical research in recent years. It enables editing and modulation of gene function with an unparalleled precision and effectiveness. Among ...
