Does CRISPR-Cas9 Have Off-Target Effects?
A genome-wide profiling method shows that CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing has off-target effects at a frequency of less than 0.1 percent.
Enhancers Take The Lead
A study from the FANTOM5 consortium has revealed that distant enhancers are the first responders in the chain of gene expression.
Taking 3D Imaging In Vivo
A new technique allows researchers to visually track the development of small organisms in 3D.
The Wound Healing Tug-Of-War
Tension is not always bad. Scientists have now shown that it is a necessary part of wound healing, especially where the underlying ECM has been damaged.
Antibody Treatment For Influenza
An antibody targeting the molecule ANGPTL4 could help influenza patients recover faster, study suggests.
Stopping Inflammation-Related Cancers
Rather than inhibiting the expression of FAT-10, simply blocking its binding to MAD2 could help prevent tumor progression.
How Early Mammals Adapted In An Age Of Dinosaurs
Ancestral mammals survived by occupying niche environments such as trees and subterranean caves.
Fighting Cavities With Nanoparticles
Silicon nanoparticles soaked with disinfectants can inhibit bacterial growth for up to three days and could be used to prevent oral biofilm formation.
How Queen Bees Suppress The Rest
Nine-carbon fatty acids secreted by queen bees repress the fertility of worker bees in a hive.
