Researchers have recently tested a Crispr/Cas9 gene-editing technique to help the immune system in a person’s body to fight advanced gastrointestinal cancers. The results have revealed promising signs of safety and potential effectiveness of the treatment.

Researchers at Kaist have developed the first technology to selectively acetylate specific RNA molecules inside living cells using the CRISPR-Cas13 system. This breakthrough enables precise, programmable control of RNA function and marks a major step forward in RNA-based therapeutics and gene regulation research.

New research from Virginia Tech identifies key molecular changes behind age-related memory loss — and shows they can be reversed. By targeting specific brain processes with advanced gene-editing tools, scientists improved memory performance in older animals, opening new possibilities for dementia research.

Researchers have found that parents think that their children are getting sufficient sleep but that not the case as a study in Rhode Island in the USA reveals that kids sleep less than their parents realize.

In a new study, scientists have found that residential wood burning is a major contributor to winter air pollution across the United States. It further states that although only 2 % of U.S. homes rely on wood as their primary heating source, residential wood burning accounts for more than one-fifth of Americans’ wintertime exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

They may be tiny, but mosses pack a climate punch. A groundbreaking study across 413 subtropical forests reveals that these overlooked plants store surprising amounts of carbon, challenging global models and offering a low-cost, nature-based path to climate solutions.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a way to make mRNA vaccines safer and more effective — by adding anti-inflammatory molecules inspired by olive oil. Their new lipid design not only reduces side effects like soreness and fatigue but also boosts vaccine performance against diseases like Covid-19 and cancer.

A new study has revealed that a mpox vaccination routine for gay and bisexual men can greatly reduce the number of mpox cases in England and also save the NHS a lot of money.

A breakthrough enzyme discovered in Brazil could transform biofuel production. Named Celoce, the natural protein efficiently breaks down cellulose — one of biomass's toughest components — offering a powerful new tool for producing second-generation ethanol from agricultural waste.

The platform called Nanostraw Electro-actuated Transfection (Next) uses tiny hollow nanostructures and electrical pulses to insert a wide variety of biomolecules — proteins, mRNA and gene-editing tools — into immune cells with high efficiency and minimal disruption.
