Programming Language Designed to Construct Synthetic DNA

 Chemists and biotech researchers may soon be able to use a structured series of instructions to “program” how DNA molecules interact in a test tube or cell, similar to using a programming language to write computer code. More...

Loss of STAG2 Gene Improves Bladder Cancer Prognosis

Researchers found that mutations of the STAG2 gene suppressed development of urothelial bladder cancer by acting through mechanisms that were different from the gene's role in preventing aneuploidy. More...

Compound Found That Stops Neurodegeneration in Mice

Researchers, who in 2012 identified a key pathway leading to brain cell death in mice, have used an orally administered compound to block that pathway, preventing neurodegeneration in the lab mice. More...

Benztropine Reverses Multiple Sclerosis in Animal Models

 Autoimmune disease researchers have reported the successful use of the Parkinson's disease drug benztropine [benzatropine (INN)] for treatment of animal models of multiple sclerosis. More...

T-cells Activated More Effectively by Ellipsoidal Artificial Antigen-Presenting Cells

Artificial antigen-presenting cells shaped like American footballs were able to activate immune system T-cells to attack and destroy cancer cells much more effectively than spherical aAPCs. More...
