Researchers have developed a novel way of detecting brain cancer, using nanowires to ‘catch-and-release’ DNA in urine, enabling them to detect mutations that signify the presence of a brain tumor. Their method may one day mean that invasive tissue biop… Continue reading DNA ‘catch-and-release’ enables urine test for brain cancer
It’s no secret that red meat and fried foods aren’t great for your health, but Stanford scientists have discovered a new potential mechanism for why. The team found that cooking food at high heat damages its DNA, and that in turn could damage your own … Continue reading Meat’s damaged DNA damages your own to raise cancer risk, says study
The New York Times has a long article on the investigative techniques used to identify the person who stabbed and killed four University of Idaho students.
Pay attention to the techniques:
The case has shown the degree to which law enforcement investigators have come to rely on the digital footprints that ordinary Americans leave in nearly every facet of their lives. Online shopping, car sales, carrying a cellphone, drives along city streets and amateur genealogy all played roles in an investigation that was solved, in the end, as much through technology as traditional sleuthing…
As a way of treating hemophilia, Japanese researchers have, for the first time, delivered gene therapy directly into the livers of baboons without using a viral carrier. The study’s results indicate that the method is safe and effective and may lead to… Continue reading Liver-targeted non-viral gene therapy gives hope to hemophiliacs

In a world first, scientists from 24 countries have mapped the DNA of more than 233 different primate species, more than quadrupling the existing genetic data, providing crucial new insights into disease-causing genetic mutations in humans.Continue Rea… Continue reading Primate AI provides breakthrough in predicting human diseases
A new study has found that consuming a widely available artificial sweetener produces a chemical that is damaging to DNA. The findings raise concerns about whether the sweetener is a contributing factor to a number of health problems.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Not so sweet: Chemical in common artificial sweetener found to damage DNA

Kidney disease is a common, irreversible complication of diabetes. Researchers have developed an algorithm that uses genetic markers to predict whether a type 2 diabetic will develop kidney disease years in advance, which may provide a way of diagnosin… Continue reading Algorithm uses genetic markers to predict diabetic kidney disease
Most have heard of CRISPR/Cas9, the gene-editing technology that’s revolutionized biomedical research. Now, researchers have added another tool to the gene-editing toolbox after discovering a new way of using the technology that improves its editing ef… Continue reading Next-level CRISPR gene editing: No viruses required
