New gene editing tool reduces errors by nicking DNA not cutting

As important as the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool has been, it has a relatively high error rate, which can introduce potentially harmful mutations. Researchers in Germany have now developed a more refined tool that reduces errors by nicking DNA instead… Continue reading New gene editing tool reduces errors by nicking DNA not cutting

New insights into how too much salt disrupts immune cell function

A new study is offering novel insights into the effects of too much salt on certain immune cells. The research reveals how salt can dampen mitochondrial functions, disrupting normal immune cell activity and potentially promoting inflammation.Continue R… Continue reading New insights into how too much salt disrupts immune cell function

Scientists uncover a key metabolic driver in uptake of fatty acids

While the relationship between the consumption of fatty foods and obesity might seem straightforward enough, the metabolic processes that underpin it are incredibly complex. Scientists are unraveling these mechanisms piece by piece, with the latest exa… Continue reading Scientists uncover a key metabolic driver in uptake of fatty acids
