Scientists have successfully used allele-specific CRISPR-Cas9 editing to eliminate the extra chromosome in trisomy 21 cells, offering a potential therapeutic breakthrough for Down syndrome.
A new study finds that gardening in soil enriched with Streptomyces rimosus, a beneficial soil bacterium, significantly improves mood and brain activity in individuals with depression through VOC-mediated olfactory stimulation.
Wearable technology is undergoing a revolution, and at the heart of this transformation lies a surprising medium—sound. A groundbreaking innovation from researchers at ETH Zurich introduces acoustic smart textiles, a…
This new technology, published in Nature Communications, uses oppositely charged nanofibers that self-bond when exposed to blood, forming a compact, tissue-adherent barrier that seals wounds from the inside out.
The breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, introduces an ovarian cancer vaccine using plant virus technology that combines liposomes loaded with tumor cell lysates (TCL) and a cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) as a potent immune booster.
In a world increasingly hungry for sustainable protein, scientists have just taken a giant step forward—by genetically reprogramming edible fungi to become not just healthier, but tastier too.
Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the research describes two fossilized fungi entombed in Burmese amber from nearly 99 million years ago, offering the earliest direct evidence of ancient entomopathogenic fungi—those that infect and kill insects.
A team of Japanese researchers has uncovered a surprising twist in the war against crop pests: it might be easier to crash pest populations by killing the bacteria inside them, rather than the insects themselves.
A groundbreaking synthesis published in Frontiers in Microbiomes has pulled back the curtain on one of the most overlooked power players in human health: the gut microbiota.
The study, published in Cell Genomics, unveils a high-resolution transcriptome of the mushroom Coprinopsis cinerea, a model fungus, using state-of-the-art long-read sequencing and multi-condition expression profiling.
