Mitochondrial transplants recover damaged kidneys
Researchers injected healthy mitochondria to acutely injured kidneys to make them viable for donation.
Delivering larger genes in gene therapy
A new method called “REVeRT” expands the capabilities of gene delivery platforms by transporting larger genes than previously possible.
Channeling immune cells from the skull to the brain
Scientists imaged new communication pathways between the skull and the brain and uncovered immune responses exclusive to the skull.
Bioprinting a thick skin
Researchers used 3D printing to create multi-layered skin grafts for deep wounds.
Synthetic DNA provides a safer blood clot treatment
New potential drug candidates made entirely of synthetic DNA may outperform current available blood clot treatments and avoid the adverse effects.
Nanopores for precision diagnostics
Researchers developed a nanopore platform that detects a range of biomarkers at the same time, paving the way for more precise liquid biopsies.
A gene therapy for chronic pain
Researchers identified a peptide that selectively blocks pain signaling in sensory neurons and packaged it into a viral-based gene therapy in a step towards treating chronic pain without the risk for addiction.
How a laser helped discover an antifungal compound
A novel system for procuring leaf samples leads researchers to a new amino acid and a promising antifungal drug candidate.
Driving a wedge into antibiotic resistance
A new mechanism for inhibiting membrane proteins could pave the way for more effective antibiotics.
