A Kill Switch For Genetically Modified Algae
By preventing bioengineered microalgae from growing outside the lab, researchers have reduced the risk of the genetically modified organisms escaping into the wild.
Muscle Loss Driven By Epigenetics Both In Space And On Earth
Scientists in Japan have identified DNA methylation as a crucial mediator of muscle loss at microgravity as well as at normal gravity.
Ordering Molecules Around To Form Polymers
Scientists in Japan have devised a method to precisely control the order of molecules during polymer synthesis.
Brain Chemical Controls Appetite And Fat Storage
Scientists in Japan have identified the protein in the brain that controls appetite and body fat composition.
Fish Oils Suppress Seizures Through Estrogen
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from food reduces the severity of seizures in mice by causing more estrogen to be produced in the brain, researchers say.
Making Genetically-Modified Organisms Safer To Use
Requiring just nine genetic edits, this new method of making genetically-modified organisms is not only safer, but simpler.
Stem Cell Transplantations Produce Mixed Results For Patients With STAT1 Mutation
Stem cell transplants were able to cure five patients with STAT1 mutations, but killed nine out of 15 subjects studied.
New Appetite-Regulating Hormone Found
A hormone called NPGL could explain why we sometimes do not lose weight even when we change our diets.
