The researchers utilized a few synthetic DNA strands to create the building blocks of DNA tiles for their investigation.
The spliceosome has up until now remained elusive and unexplored in human biology due to the vast number of components involved and the complexity of its function.
In 2022–2023, the researchers found people diagnosed with obesity without diabetes using a nationwide sample of medical insurance claims data from over 17 million persons with private insurance.
The active ingredient in the diabetes and weight-loss medications Wegovy and Ozempic is semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide receptor (GLP-1R) molecule that reduces appetite and aids in blood sugar regulation in type 2 diabetes.
Their novel method makes it feasible to regulate gene expression in the body in previously unattainable ways, which might improve human health and medical research.
Glycolysis is one of the most fundamental metabolic pathways found in nearly all living organisms. In glycolysis, a simple sugar (glucose) is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process takes place in the cell cytoplasm and is the first step in both aerobic […]
Teri Boudreaux is thankful for the time she gets to spend with her family, whether it’s hiking, playing with her grandkids, travelling with her spouse, lounging on the beach, or taking up new interests like pickleball. She has survived breast cancer twice. In spite of everything, though, she still harbours […]
C. difficile vaccine protected against C. difficile first-time infections and relapsing infections in animal models by eliciting a strong immune response, facilitating the removal of pre-existing C. diff bacteria from the gut
What is Micro RNA or miRNA? Micro RNAs belong to small non-coding RNA molecules involved in the regulation of gene expression. These short RNA sequences, typically of around 20-25 nucleotides, have emerged as important regulators of biological processes, ranging from cell development to the development of disease, with much importance […]
Sanger sequencing, also known as the dideoxy chain-termination method, is one of the cornerstone techniques for determining the exact nucleotide sequence of DNA. Introduced by Frederick Sanger and co-workers in 1977, it has been an important tool for genetic research, especially for determining entire genomes, such as in the Human […]
