In response, the World Health Organization (WHO) in June recommended widespread use of a new, faster test that can screen for drug-resistant TB in the blood in one or two days. But it requires sophisticated lab facilities for amplifying genes that are beyond the limited resources of most developing...
Roche's risk profile has also extended to being one of the largest investors in a red-hot area of drug research: ribonucleic-acid-mediated interference, or RNAi for short. First identified a decade ago, RNAi is a mechanism that exists naturally within all cells. Its discovery offered scientists one...
Mango’s research focuses on organ development, mainly of the digestive tract, in the widely-studied worm C. elegans and the associated cancer and birth defects that can arise from mutations in these developmental genes.
Hochedlinger’s team inserted genes needed for cellular reprogramming with harmless adenoviruses.
Unlike retroviruses, which scientists have been using to create iPS cells, these viruses effectively disappear after a few cell divisions and do not integrate into the cells’ DNA. The effect of this is that adenoviruses are free from the chief adverse effect of genetic manipulation, which can turn...
