Automated Cell-Free Systems Boost Protein Production Performance Five-Fold

A research team led by Professor Joongoo Lee in the Department of Chemical Engineering at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has developed an automated, modular method for assembling reconstituted cell-free systems, which are test-tube systems that can produce proteins outside living cells.

Scientists Discover Hidden Brain Development Signaling Pathway

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are also found in the cell nucleus, where they can influence developmental programs.

Artificial Intelligence Translates Raw Micro CT Scans Into 3D Virtual Stains

Rudolf Virchow fundamentally changed medicine when he formulated his cell theory of disease in the 19th century: diseases do not arise inexplicably within the organism, but rather in specific cells and tissues.

A New Non-Destructive Tool Maps Active Transcription Profiles in Living Tissue

Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps - transcription, when messenger RNA (mRNA) makes copies of active genes, and translation, when mRNA guides protein assembly.

Dental Pulp Stem Cell Subsets Triggers Rapid Cellular Senescence and Tooth Decay

With age, teeth get increasingly brittle and susceptible to damage from tooth decay, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Teeth have an intrinsic capability to regenerate, a process which is driven by dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) which replenish the dental pulp including the dentin-producing cells called odontoblasts.

Polymer Platforms Help Focus Immune Attack on Cancerous Tumors

Conventional immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, can reinvigorate T cells but typically benefit less than 30% of patients.

Genetic Engineering Creates an Immune System Cloak to Extend Bacterial Drug Circulation

While previous research from Johns Hopkins University is successfully completing clinical trials, University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy Assistant Professor Kaitlin Dailey is expanding on that work to more specifically target tumors that are difficult or impossible to access, especially those associated with pancreatic cancer-one of the deadliest types.

DNA-Guided CRISPR Technology Enhances Precision and Reduces Off-Target Effects

A team of engineers at the University of Florida has developed a new form of CRISPR technology that could make diagnostics and treatments safer, more precise and more affordable, while opening the door to entirely new ways of controlling disease.

AI Model Reads DNA Like Language to Trace Ancestry

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way large language models like ChatGPT read text. Scanning the genome for biological mutation patterns, the computer model traces pairs of genes back in time to their last common ancestor.
