Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are frequently used to produce protein-based medications for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions. A multinational team of researchers, led by the University of California San Diego, has devised a novel method to improve pharmaceutical production in CHO cells. Researchers have removed […]
A cell’s morphology and form are crucial to its biological function. This is in line with the “form follows function” theory that is prevalent in contemporary architecture and design.
The codon chart is an important tool in the fields of molecular biology and genetics, allowing the translation of the genetic code into specific amino acids, creating the basis for protein synthesis in all life forms. The interpretation of the codon chart implies comprehension of the structure of genetic material […]
The genetic flaw causing the immunological condition chronic granulomatous disease can be fixed with the CRISPR technique. But now, scientists from the University of Zurich have demonstrated that there is a chance of unintentionally adding further flaws.
The spliceosome has up until now remained elusive and unexplored in human biology due to the vast number of components involved and the complexity of its function.
Their novel method makes it feasible to regulate gene expression in the body in previously unattainable ways, which might improve human health and medical research.
What is Micro RNA or miRNA? Micro RNAs belong to small non-coding RNA molecules involved in the regulation of gene expression. These short RNA sequences, typically of around 20-25 nucleotides, have emerged as important regulators of biological processes, ranging from cell development to the development of disease, with much importance […]
Sanger sequencing, also known as the dideoxy chain-termination method, is one of the cornerstone techniques for determining the exact nucleotide sequence of DNA. Introduced by Frederick Sanger and co-workers in 1977, it has been an important tool for genetic research, especially for determining entire genomes, such as in the Human […]
Researchers found that among all proteins, one protein-OSER1, greatly influences longevity.
