New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) uses saturation genome editing to better understanding of the RAD51C gene, which has been linked to higher risks of breast and ovarian cancer; sheds new light on brain metastasis; and finds a commercially available contrast dye could help surgeons better separate cancer from healthy tissue.
Researchers have achieved a groundbreaking advancement in plant biotechnology by using a magnetofected pollen gene delivery system to genetically transform cucumbers. This cutting-edge method uses DNA-coated magnetic nanoparticles to introduce foreign genes into pollen, producing genetically modified seeds without the need for traditional tissue culture or regeneration steps. This technique significantly streamlines and accelerates crop genetic modification, opening up new avenues to boost agricultural productivity and resilience.
A pivotal study has mapped the genetic blueprint of Hydrangea macrophylla, uncovering the molecular foundations behind its stunning ornamental features. This genetic deep dive not only revolutionizes the breeding of this beloved garden staple but also provides fresh insights into the evolution of the Asterid clade, one of the largest families of flowering plants.
Drug overdose mortality has risen faster among adolescents than the general population in recent years, largely due to fentanyl, a potent opioid pain medication. A new study published in JAMA sheds light on trends in nonfatal opioid overdoses in youth – an area that was not as well characterized, but key to formulating prevention strategies to save lives.
Pink Fund is proud to be a partner in the latest study from Northwestern Medicine that, for the first time, uses patient input on how they would like to be screened for financial needs.
A recent study study has revealed critical insights into the metabolic landscape of Artemisia annua, a plant essential for artemisinin production, the cornerstone of malaria treatment. Researchers investigated a mutant strain with developmental defects in glandular secretory trichomes (GSTs), which are vital for artemisinin synthesis. The study uncovered severe disruptions in the plant’s metabolic pathways, notably hindering artemisinin and other key secondary metabolites. These findings could pave the way for enhanced strategies to boost artemisinin yield, potentially transforming malaria treatment.
The WCS Library and Archives, based at the Bronx Zoo, released its newly digitized Department of Tropical Research (DTR) Film Collection. The project was funded by the Council on Library and Information Resources’ (CLIR) Recordings at Risk grant, supported by the Mellon Foundation.
A pivotal study unveils the genetic blueprint of the endangered Jacktree, shedding light on the molecular factors hindering its germination. The research highlights the challenges posed by the tree’s highly lignified pericarps, which serve as both a protective feature and a significant barrier to seed propagation, underscoring the need for targeted genetic and conservation interventions.
A newly discovered cluster-scale strong gravitational lens, with a rare alignment of seven background lensed galaxies, provides a unique opportunity to study cosmology.
As part of the race to combat global insecticide resistance, new research shows that the same CBD people use to treat a variety of ailments is also extremely effective at killing mosquito larvae.
