Many life-saving drugs directly interact with DNA to treat diseases such as cancer, but scientists have struggled to detect how and why they work – until now. In a paper published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, University of Cambridge researchers…
Aston University scientists are working with start-up company, Isterian Biotech, part of Cambrian BioPharma, to develop novel drugs to treat fibrotic diseases such as lung disease. The focus of preclinical-stage biotechnology company Isterian Biotech is on developing novel drugs to…
Humans and chimpanzees differ in only one percent of their DNA. Human accelerated regions (HARs) are parts of the genome with an unexpected amount of these differences. HARs were stable in mammals for millennia but quickly changed in early humans.…
Vector BioPharma AG (Vector BioPharma), a biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the safety, efficacy, and specificity of drug delivery to improve treatments for patients, today announced that it has entered into a strategic, multi-phase collaboration with the Instituto de Biologia…
Astrea Bioseparations (“Astrea Bio”), a leading provider of high-quality bioseparation and purification technologies, announced today the acquisition of Delta Precision Ltd. (“Delta Precision”), a premier manufacturer of advanced chromatography columns for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. This strategic acquisition, which…
Radiation, used to treat half of all cancer patients, can be measured during treatment for the first time with precise 3D imaging developed at the University of Michigan. By capturing and amplifying tiny sound waves created when X-rays heat tissues…
Genetic mutations cause hundreds of unsolved and untreatable disorders. Among them, DNA mutations in a small percentage of cells, called mosaic mutations, are extremely difficult to detect because they exist in a tiny percentage of the cells. While scanning the…
Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide future insight into neuroscience, pathology, and many other biological and medical fields. In the paper…
As cells perform their everyday functions, they turn on a variety of genes and cellular pathways. MIT engineers have now coaxed cells to inscribe the history of these events in a long protein chain that can be imaged using a…
A new method can illuminate the identities and activities of cells throughout an organ or a tumor at unprecedented resolution, according to a study co-led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian and the New York Genome Center. The method,…
