A method to predict the potential clinical implications of new drugs before clinical trials even start

An international research team is perfecting a method to predict the potential clinical implications of new drugs before clinical trials even start. An international research team has developed a new strategy that can predict the potential clinical implications of new therapeutic compounds based on simple cellular responses. This discovery was partly led by scientists affiliated

A new strategy of maintaining telomere length could potentially treat age-related disease and decline

A study led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine has uncovered a new strategy that can potentially treat age-related disease and decline. The study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, demonstrates that shortening of telomeres – the ends of the chromosomes – impairs a class of enzymes called sirtuins, which play an important role in

Making oil-soaked soil fertile again

Rice University-led study fine-tunes pyrolysis technique to make soil fertile again Rice University engineers have figured out how soil contaminated by heavy oil can not only be cleaned but made fertile again. How do they know it works? They grew lettuce. Rice engineers Kyriacos Zygourakis and Pedro Alvarez and their colleagues have fine-tuned their method to remove petroleum contaminants from

Defeating asthma attacks by going small

An invisible particle enters your lungs. The next thing you know breathing becomes difficult. You are having an asthma attack. Asthma is one of the most common and difficult to endure chronic conditions. About 30 million Americans experience asthma attacks and 3 million have a severe, therapy-resistant form of the disease. In some cases, the

Gene editing technology gets more accessible and simpler to implement

An international team of researchers has made CRISPR technology more accessible and standardized by simplifying its complex implementation. The simpler, faster CRISPR, which is presented in the journal Nature Communications, offers a broad platform for off-the shelf genome engineering that may lower the barrier of entry for this powerful technology. “CRISPR technologies can be programmed to
