Antarctica is home to microbes found nowhere else on Earth
1+ week, 4+ day ago (759+ words) Antarctic soils harbor microbes found nowhere else on Earth, revealing a hidden world of life uniquely adapted to the continent’s extreme conditions. A new study has found that there are microbes in Antarctica’s soil that don’t exist anywhere else on…...
Scientists turned a tiny parasite into a living drug factory
3+ mon, 3+ day ago (866+ words) Rewriting a hookworm’s DNA had long remained out of reach. The worm’s tough outer coating, its complex life cycle, and its poorly characterized genome kept it beyond the reach of gene-editing tools that work reliably in bacteria, mice, and human…...
Canadian man becomes first human cured with prime gene editing
6+ mon, 1+ week ago (836+ words) Ty Sperle, a 19-year-old from Kelowna, British Columbia, has become the first person cured of a rare inherited immune disorder after doctors used prime gene editing to correct a single DNA error in his own blood-forming cells. His recovery shows…...
Scientists warn of a new biological risk and call for an international summit
8+ mon, 2+ day ago (838+ words) Thirty-eight researchers from around the world are urging caution over mirror life – a hypothetical form of biology built from mirror-image molecules that could behave unpredictably in natural systems. In response, a major biomedical research institute in Paris is convening an…...
Gene-edited fungus could transform sustainable protein production
9+ mon, 2+ week ago (882+ words) Scientists have engineered a fungus that turns the same amount of feedstock into significantly more edible protein – and does so with far fewer emissions. In new research from Jiangnan University in Wuxi, China, a gene-edited strain of Fusarium venenatum produced…...
