Gene editing on demand: fast, precise and activated by light
Scientists say they have successfully used light as a trigger to make precise cuts in genomic material rapidly, using a molecular scalpel known as CRISPR.
Age-related impairments could be reversed
Two impairments of old age — frailty and immunity decline — can be halted and even partially reversed using a novel cell-based therapeutic approach.
What do asthma and the gut have to do with Alzheimer's?
Recent studies have suggested new treatment approaches for Alzheimer's disease — one utilising an existing asthma drug and another targeting the gut.
Ultrasound-activated microbubbles destroy cancer cells
A non-invasive technology platform utilises low-frequency ultrasound (250 kHz) to detonate microscopic tumour-targeted bubbles like warheads.
Biomedical device developed from food industry by-products
The device comprised soy protein and chitin, which formed a matrix with a porous, interconnected microarchitecture similar to that of certain body tissues.
Eliminating side effects by manipulating molecular chirality
A nanostructure fabrication device was used to manipulate the chirality of drug molecules by controlling the direction in which a substrate is...
