Pelin Sahlén, senior lecturer in KTH Royal Institute of Technology, says the joint KTH-Karolinska Institutet research team mapped 118 gene targets regarding the skin ailments, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, …
Cell scientists and bioimaging master collaborate to settle fourth measurement insider facts Kumar Jeetendra | October 29, 2020 Cell biologists at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and Bar-Ilan University in Israel and a bioimaging expert at the University of Central Florida are teaming up in what they expect may result in a major breakthrough in the understanding of the three-dimensional organization of the nucleus over their role in certain diseases. The dream …
Improving affectability of fluid biopsy utilizing ‘inexactly stacked’ identification layers Kumar Jeetendra | November 4, 2020 By detecting DNA fragments in body fluids like urine, some kinds of cancer may already be tracked in an early stage. But in order to capture them, detection sensitivity must be improved. Researchers at the University of Twente in The Netherlands (MESA+ Institute) use electrically charged polymers for this. Not only one layer of this, …
CRISPR-based test could give fast, affordable testing to help control COVID-19 spread Kumar Jeetendra | December 7, 2020 Imagine swabbing your nostrils, putting the swab in a device, and obtaining a read-out on your mobile phone in 15 to 30 minutes which tells you if you’re infected with the COVID-19 virus. This has been the vision for a group of scientists at Gladstone Institutes, University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and University of …
Active enzymes are expected to open full advantages of Vitamin A in carrots Kumar Jeetendra | December 14, 2020 Carrots are a good source of beta-carotene, which is a precursor of vitamin A. But to get the full health benefits of this superfood, you want an active enzyme to produce this vitamin. Studies with mice and humans reveal the conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A reduces”bad” cholesterol in the blood. Therefore, beta-carotene can help …
New information shows empowering results for patients with neuro-degenerative blinding eye illness Kumar Jeetendra | December 16, 2020 New data published in the Journal Science Translational Medicine shows encouraging results in a worldwide clinical trial for patients diagnosed with the neuro-degenerative blinding eye disease; Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON. The disease is an inherited type of vision loss estimated to affect 1 in 30,000 to 50,000 individuals. LHON most often afflicts individuals with …
Skin may assist with foreseeing future heart issues Kumar Jeetendra | December 17, 2020 Our skin informs us when we have spent too much time in sunlight or when the dry air of winter has sucked away too much moisture. Now Jefferson researchers find that the skin may also foretell problems unrelated to the protective barrier. An international group of researchers headed by Jouni Uitto, MD, PhD, a Professor …
Another way to deal with distinguish genomic areas in our cerebrum that add to make us human Kumar Jeetendra | December 17, 2020 With just 1% gap, the human and chimpanzee protein-coding genomes are remarkably similar. Knowing the biological characteristics that make us human is a part of a fascinating and intensely debated line of study. The paper is printed in Science Advances. Gene expression, not gene arrangement To describe what sets human besides their ape relatives, researchers …
new cGMP plasmid DNA manufacturing facility construction announced by Thermo Fisher Kumar Jeetendra | December 18, 2020 Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, today announced the construction of a new cGMP plasmid DNA manufacturing facility in Carlsbad, Calif. The site will expand the company’s clinical and commercial capabilities for cGMP plasmid DNA used as a critical raw material to develop and manufacture cell and gene-based therapies including life-saving cancer …
