Genome Editing Application Has Potential in Modifying Human Stem Cells
A unique genome editing tool known as CRISPR has been used by researchers for several years to fit, replace, disrupt, or add to sequences of an organism’s DNA. Now, scientists have shown that the system also precisely and effectively changes human stem cells, which could become a new advance in the use of stem cells for treatment and disease research.

Protein Bioengineering Applications May Offer a Treatment for Huntington’s Disease, Improving Motor Function and Reducing Brain Shrinkage
Researchers have improved motor function and brain abnormalities in lab animals with a form of Huntington’s disease, a severe neurodegenerative disorder, by modifying the levels of a key signaling protein. This new findings may become the basis of a new treatment for individuals suffering from this lethal, progressive disease. More...11 Jan 2015
Study Suggests Pleconaril Has Potential to Treat EV-D68 Infection
The antiviral drug pleconaril effectively blocks the spread of laboratory strains of EV-D68 virus but fails to protect against the strains currently causing an outbreak of childhood respiratory disease in the United States. More...11 Jan 2015
Sugar Found in Red Meat Causes Chronic Inflammation in Human-Like Mouse Model
Chronic inflammation in humans, which has been linked to tumor formation as well as development of other syndromes such as atherosclerosis and type II diabetes, may be a response to red meat in the diet that contains the sugar N-Glycolylneuraminic acid. More...06 Jan 2015
