Stem-cell models provide evidence that viral DNA sequences that entered the human genome in the past were repurposed to aid early stages of embryonic development. Sherif Khodeer is in the Department ...

Dr Katy Rezvani reveals groundbreaking insights on enhancing CAR-NK cell therapy's effectiveness against solid tumors through innovative genetic strategies. In an interview with Targeted Oncology, ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

In 2023, FDA approved one CRISPR/Cas9-based gene therapy to treat sickle cell disease, which marks a significant milestone in the translation of genome editing technologies into clinical therapeutics.

In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “The reference genome of the human diploid cell line RPE-1,” researchers from University of Rome La Sapienza have produced the first reference ...

Researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at Heidelberg University Hospital have decoded a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 selects its integration targets in the human ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong have discovered that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a common human virus closely linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), can change the 3D structure of ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

The most complete view yet of the human genome has arrived, and it tackles the messy parts scientists used to skip. The new work assembles nearly all of the repeat-rich, shape-shifting DNA that helps ...

Abstract: Recent work on human animation usually involves audio, pose, or movement maps conditions, thereby achieves vivid animation quality. However, these methods often face practical challenges due ...

Scientists at UC San Diego have discovered a small but powerful section of DNA, called HAR123, that could help explain what makes the human brain so unique. Instead of being a gene, HAR123 acts like a ...
