Research: A new neural biomarker for OCD
Two to three per cent of people worldwide suffer from OCD, a prevalent and debilitating mental illness. OCD affects over two million people in the United States.
Cystic Fibrosis mutation in human lung cells corrected by Prime Editing
Researchers at the University of Iowa, the Broad Institute of MIT, Harvard, and Harvard have now created a gene-editing method that effectively fixes the most prevalent mutation affecting 85% of patients
New research suggests an improved method for the detection of thyroid cancer
The study investigated if cancer status differed according to individuals’ RAS genetic variations.
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method for the scalable synthesis of Withanolides, which inhibits cancer growth
One of the novel synthesis’s key features is a bioinspired photooxygenation-allylic hydroperoxide rearrangement sequence that makes it easier to add functional groups in the synthesis’s final stages.
Phosphate findings in NASA’s OSIRIS-REx samples
Bennu is home to the primordial materials that gave rise to our solar system, according to the OSIRIS-REx Sample Analysis Team.
Advancement in research improves checkpoint inhibitor therapy for cancer
Researchers at Scripps Research have recently discovered that when taken with checkpoint inhibitors, the immunosuppressive medication ruxolitinib, which is licenced, enhanced T-cell responses and increased the drugs’ ability to fight cancer.
Researchers uncovered the DNA mechanisms of rare genetic diseases
Genetic illnesses arise from alterations or mutations in DNA that impair regular biological processes.
Research: Wooden surfaces show antiviral properties
Non-enveloped viruses, such as enteroviruses connected to the common cold, can survive for weeks, sometimes even after surfaces are cleaned.
Blood Markers can detect rare forms of dementia and neurological diseases
A diagnosis of the underlying pathology is required for the development of therapies and for stratifying patients according to their disease.
