Using DNA Droplets, a new method for Early Disease Detection has been Developed
Droplet systems, such as DNA droplets, formed by the liquid-liquid phase separation of macromolecules, play an important role in cellular functions. Computational DNA droplets, which…
A New Supramolecular CRISPR-Cas9 carrier makes Genome Editing more Efficient
Genome editing (also known as gene editing) refers to a set of technologies that allow scientists to alter an organism’s DNA. These technologies enable the…
Scientist discovers Aging Signs in Mitochondria
Age-related mitochondrial alterations are linked to a reduction in mitochondrial function. Because of mutations and oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial DNA volume,…
A Single Hormone Controls the Body’s Reaction to a Low-protein Diet
A single hormone appears to be responsible for the lifetime extension caused by a low-protein diet. In old mice, low-protein diets have favorable metabolic benefits,…
Scientists Discover how the Brain Connects Memories
As we age, our brains lose the ability to connect similar memories. Researchers genetically restored this brain function in middle-aged rats and discovered an FDA-approved…
In Obese Mice, Increasing Liver mRNAs Reduces Appetite and Body Weight
Obesity is becoming increasingly common around the world, but treatment options are limited. Despite initial success, calorie restriction (CR) weight loss frequently fails due to…
Microbes Influence how the Gut uses its Genes
According to a new Duke study in mice, the microorganisms that assist break down food actually tell the gut how to do its job better.…
Microbiota in Gut may influence Cancer Treatment Response
The gut microbiota has been linked to cancer and has been found to influence anticancer medication efficacy. Resistance to chemo medicines or immune checkpoint inhibitors…
New Predictors of Breast Cancer Recurrence Identified
Breast cancer that recurs after first treatment is known as recurrent breast cancer. Although the initial therapy is designed to eliminate all cancer cells, some…
