By silencing genes, researchers have increased the protein production in yeast, laying the grounds for engineering better yeast production hosts for industries producing biopharmaceutical proteins and industrial enzymes.
Colon cancer proteins and gene analysis uncovers potential new treatments
A new study analysing both the entire set of genes and all the proteins produced by colon cancer tissues has revealed a more comprehensive view of the tumour.
New role unlocked for nervous system in regeneration
Using a computational model, researchers were able to explain, predict, and manipulate the regeneration of a flatworm body.
New nanomachines developed to deliver cancer drugs to hard-to-reach areas
In a recent study in mice, researchers have found a way to deliver specific drugs to parts of the body that are exceptionally difficult to access.
Scientists make improvements to AI pipeline used to diagnose genetic diseases
Building on previous research, scientists have made improvements to an artificial intelligence pipeline used to diagnose genetic diseases via blood samples obtained from gravely ill infants.
