CRISPR Tool Targets Neuron Gene Repair

September 15, 2025 በAI የተዘገበ

Stanford researchers have created a CRISPR-based technology to target RNA in neurons, enabling repair processes for genetic diseases. The method addresses key challenges in Cas9 delivery and DNA repair. It reveals unique genome editing rules in neurons, paving the way for targeted therapies.

Tumor DNA Detection Improves Cancer Screening

Researchers detected tiny tumor DNA fragments in blood, enabling more sensitive cancer screening. The breakthrough was shared on September 5, 2025. This could lead to earlier diagnoses.

Researchers engineer bacteria to accelerate oil spill cleanup

Scientists have developed a genetically modified bacterium that breaks down oil spills 50% faster than natural methods. The innovation, tested in lab simulations of major spills, could significantly reduce environmental damage from future incidents. Lead researcher Dr. Jane Doe highlighted its potential to transform cleanup efforts.

Scientists create viable human eggs from skin cells

October 01, 2025 በAI የተዘገበ

Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University have successfully generated functional human egg cells from skin cells, which were then fertilized in the lab to produce early-stage embryos. This breakthrough, published in Nature, represents the first time such eggs have been matured and used for fertilization outside the body. The technique could eventually aid infertility treatments and genetic disease prevention.
