Biologists from the University of Michigan have disclosed a new study involving the genetic manipulation of yeast cells which goes on to explain that synonymous or silent genetic mutations are harmful and not neutral as assumed earlier.

Size distribution, shape factor, bulk density —  there are numerous parameters that describe a bulk material as a whole. But their determination is also subject to many sources of error. These six tips for particle analysis show how to ensure that you end up with meaningful results when characterizing powders.

Inadequate pollination has led to a three to five percent loss of fruit, vegetable, and nut production and an estimated 427,000 excess deaths annually from lost healthy food consumption and associated diseases, according to research led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

A team led by researchers at the University of Washington has developed a laboratory test that can measure levels of amyloid beta oligomers in blood samples. This toxic protein is an indicator for the development Alzheimer’s disease.

A newly identified heat-stable Cas13 enzyme could lead to improved diagnostics and new biotechnological applications. It can be used with RT-Lamp to specifically detect target genetic material in a one-pot assay without the need for new reagents.

Researchers at the University of Bern and Inselspital and the University Hospital Bern are exploring the use of artificial intelligence in the personalized treatment of heart muscle inflammation i.e. myocarditis.

Researchers at the Northwestern University have revealed in a new study that the length of genes leads to most of the molecular-level changes that occur during aging. With the help of this study, it could become possible to slow or even reverse aging.

Researchers have developed a fast and cost-effective method to test liquids for a ubiquitous family of chemical compounds known as amphiphiles, which are used to detect diseases such as early-stage tuberculosis and cancer as well as to detect toxins in drugs, food, medical devices and water supplies.

Using animal-free methods to assess the hazard potential of chemicals to the nervous system of unborn children? An international research team including toxicologists from Konstanz and Düsseldorf has developed a testing battery based on human cells that has the potential to replace traditional methods for assessing developmental neurotoxicity.

Researchers have revealed in a study that wastewater-based epidemiology could help to monitor the spread of monkeypox which is steadily increasing across the globe. The study can be used as a useful framework for developing robust community monitoring programs.
