A large international team of researchers has conducted genetic engineering on T cells as a way to combat pancreatic cancer. In their paper published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, the group describes engineering certain kinds of T cells and how well the approach worked when tested under laboratory conditions. Pancreatic cancer is one of […]
The creation of genetically modified babies is not only ethically justifiable but “highly desirable,” according to academic research from a leading UK bioethicist. Dr. Kevin Smith from Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland, published ethical analysis concluding that the risks of gene editing are now low enough to justify its use with human embryos, with a […]
All stem cells can multiply, proliferate and differentiate. Because of these qualities, leukemic stem cells are the most malignant of all leukemic cells. Understanding how leukemic stem cells are regulated has become an important area of cancer research. A team of Tel Aviv University researchers have now devised a novel biosensor that can isolate and […]
There are only 25 people in the whole of Quebec at the moment who have a rare recessive genetic disease called chronic atrial and intestinal dysrhythmia (CAID). It is a serious disease that affects both heart rate and intestinal movements. A McGill-led research team has been able to trace the gene mutations underlying the disease […]
Based on a protein from E. coli, scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a fluorescent protein sensor able to provide real-time information on dynamic changes in oxygen levels with very high sensitivity. As the oxygen level is a major determinant of cellular function, the idea behind this sensor may revolutionize our ability to […]
