Disruption of sleep and circadian rhythm can increase the chances of contracting a virus

A recent study explores the effect of sleep and circadian rhythm dispersion on mouse lung transcriptome after six of hours sleep deprivation.

New technique can upregulate specific genes without permanently altering the genome

By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial intelligence, it is possible to awaken individual dormant genes by disabling the chemical "off switches" that silence them.

New DNA test can quickly and accurately identify a range of hard-to-diagnose genetic diseases

A new DNA test, developed by researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney and collaborators from Australia, UK and Israel, has been shown to identify a range of hard-to-diagnose neurological and neuromuscular genetic diseases quicker and more-accurately than existing tests.

Study finds how genetic baggage can accumulate in the genomes of normal and mutant animals

You are probably familiar with the term that some people carry "a lot of extra baggage." Usually that term refers to that person's emotional history, but in genetics and our genomes, "extra baggage" can also describe the transposons lurking in our genomes, a historical record of our genomes surviving traumatic invasions during evolution.

Blood groups play a key role in whether people develop severe COVID-19, study suggests

A new study has analyzed over 3000 proteins to identify which are causally linked to the development of severe COVID-19.

Study shows targeting DDX3 with RK-33 reduced the viral load in four isolates of SARS-CoV-2

A new study has focused on developing a novel anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapy using HTA directed against the human host DEAD-box RNA helicase.

Novel approach to generate reliable breast tumor models may pave way for better immunotherapies

The discrepancy between preclinical advances in breast cancer immunotherapy and poor patient outcomes is rooted in the limitations of current breast cancer models. These models often fail to mimic complex interactions between cancer cells and key immune cells present in the tumor microenvironment.
