Researchers develop GenoBaits Soy40K to assist soybean breeding and genetic study

Over a 5,000-year period, cultivated soybean was domesticated from wild soybean in China, and then extensively spread throughout the world. Soybean is a multipurpose crop that accounts for 56% of global oilseed production and more than 25% of protein used in food and animal feed.

Preclinical study describes a promising approach to regenerate damaged cartilage

Osteoarthritis – a painful condition that results from the deterioration of the cartilage in our joints – affects millions of people worldwide.

Study provides new knowledge on the influence of membrane proteins on plant growth

Ubiquitin is a tiny regulatory protein that can be present in most eukaryotic cells. It is important for changing the function of other proteins, and it is especially important for protein breakdown and localization inside the cell. Ubiquitin regulates these actions through ubiquitination (attaching to and detaching from a target protein).

Researchers developed a weapon to combat drug-resistant malaria

As the efficiency of conventional antimalarial medications deteriorates, a novel approach to combating malaria that sees the disease turn against itself could provide a viable treatment for the hundreds of millions of people affected globally every year.

Researchers analyze the chemical and biophysical properties of protein corona

Professor Chunying Chen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ (CAS) National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) has been studying the chemical and biophysical characteristics of protein corona in nanomedicine.

Researchers reveal that new compact version of Cas7-11 enzyme improves RNA editing

Cas7-11, the first CRISPR enzyme that can make precise, directed cuts to strands of RNA without hurting cells, was identified and described last year by researchers at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research.

Sharks may be key to developing effective COVID-19 treatments

To combat viruses, one of humankind's oldest threats, researchers are studying predators with the oldest adaptive immune system in the animal kingdom: sharks.

Researchers determine intracellular antibodies to cure diseases

Mermaid Bio GmbH of Munich, Germany, and WEHI of Melbourne, Australia, recently announced cooperation to identify and develop a unique class of therapeutic candidates that modify misbehaving proteins inside cells that can cause a variety of diseases.

Study reveals how RNAi workhorse protein optimizes to keep protein synthesis on track

Proteins are made in cells in the same way as they are made in factories. However, making too much at the wrong moment may lead to illnesses like cancer, so they use RNA interference (RNAi) to regulate production.

Researchers conduct a comprehensive survey of the aging epigenome across the chromatin hierarchy

Highly structured chromatin encodes the program of life with only one set of genes in the core of every cell. Since various genes are stimulated at different periods of life while staying silent elsewhere, this is feasible. Some genes from a former life stage are hidden deep within the nuclear perimeter, while others manage to break out.

Study reveals that gene variant regulates protein level to prevent blood clots in the lungs

The probability of blood clots in the lungs of very sick COVID-19 patients is influenced by a gene variant in the natural immune system. This is demonstrated in a new study published in Nature Immunology by researchers from Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet.

Research shows how current drugs impact bacterial physiology

Tuberculosis is a stubborn disease caused by even more stubborn bacteria. While many bacterial infections clear up within days of taking antibiotics, TB can take up to six months to clear up and, in some cases, never leave the human body. In 2020, it claimed 1.5 million lives, second only to COVID-19 in terms of infectious disease deaths.

Damaged liver treated in perfusion machine for three days and then implanted into a cancer patient

The multidisciplinary Zurich research team Liver4Life has succeeded in doing something during a treatment attempt that had never been achieved in the history of medicine until now: it treated an originally damaged human liver in a machine for three days outside a body and then implanted the recovered organ into a cancer patient.

New bio-mimicking enzyme shows promise in degrading lignin

A new artificial enzyme has shown it can chew through lignin, the tough polymer that helps woody plants hold their shape. Lignin also stores tremendous potential for renewable energy and materials.

Study highlights the interaction between single-stranded DNA and the linker histone H1

Human DNA is neatly locked in place around a central disc in the tight quarters of the cell nucleus by H1 linker histone that helps shepherd DNA into the tidy chromatin fibers that make up chromosomes. The linker histone, on the other hand, is much more than a protein clip.

Study shows how gene related to Nascimento Syndrome activates the cell response to stress

According to a Duke University study, a gene linked to severe learning disabilities in humans also plays a critical role in cells’ response to environmental stress.

Endogenous retroviruses in the human genome are likely to pose a risk in regenerative medicine

Scientists from Kumamoto University used next-generation sequencing to analyze human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) integration sites and found that these primitive retroviruses can retrotranspose (DNA sequence insertion with RNA mediation) into iPS cells.
