Researchers Discover Hundreds Of Unexpected Mutations From New Gene Editing Technology
For the past few years, a new scientific tool known as CRISPR-Cas9 has been hailed as the future of medicine. The technology, which has been the center of both extreme fascination and a bitter patent dispute between two research groups, enables scientists to edit genomes. That is, they can remove harmful genes that cause diseases and replace…
Methylene Blue reduced wrinkles and slowed skin ageing for women in their 80s, study reveals
Methylene blue has been used for 140 years – to stain bodily tissue in surgery, as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, and to kill bacteria in urinary tract infections Now scientists have found it can rejuvenate skin cells to slow the ageing process A team used skin samples from women over 80; the dye reduced…
Gut Feeling: Sensory cells of the mouse intestine let the brain know if certain compounds are present by speaking directly to gut neurons via serotonin.
Mouse intestineWIKIMEDIA, KELVINH88 The intestine tells the brain about the contents of the gut. But insights into the molecular mechanics of this gut-brain conversation have been stalled by technical limitations. Now, examinations of a key type of gut sensory cell within mouse intestinal organoids and tissue sections have revealed which molecular signals activate these…
Athletes’ Microbiomes Differ from Non athletes
We selected this news from the Scientist 2017. Genomicist Lauren Petersen has been racing mountain bikes since she was 14 years old. But throughout her teens she battled chronic Lyme disease, suffering recurring bouts of illness that sometimes kept her off her wheels. “I’d feel like crap for a month or two, and then the…
