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.  More...

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...

Image: Color-coded image shows the surface view of enterovirus D68, which has stricken children with serious respiratory infections and might be associated with polio-like symptoms. Red regions are the highest peaks, and the lowest portions are blue. In the black-and-white background are actual electron microscopy images of the EV-D68 virus (Photo courtesy of Purdue University).

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...
