From Honeybees to Humans: Imaging gene expression in the brain
Entomologists and computer engineers developed a novel imaging method for analyzing gene expression in live brains.
Next-generation nanoparticle delivery
Nanoparticles fuse with cells to deliver their gene or RNA therapy cargo, but some are better shuttles than others. Now, scientists have developed a way to find the best nanoparticles for the job.
Gut-On-A-Chip: Assessing Drug-induced Gut Toxicity In Vitro
Learn how scientists use cells from real human intestine to assess gut toxicity and screen drugs.
New RNA-editing tools expand therapeutic toolkits
Improved chemistry may make RNA editing therapies more feasible in humans.
Human-mouse hybrids accelerate nanoparticle discovery
Nanoparticles that successfully deliver drugs in mice often fail in humans. To understand how nanoparticles fare across different model species, scientists developed a high-throughput system to screen nanoparticles in mice with humanized livers with the hope of better predicting nanoparticles that work in humans.
Spatial Profiling to Explore the Tumor Microenvironment
Scientists use spatial profiling to probe tumor cell heterogeneity for clues to develop effective cancer treatments.
Improving the delivery of gene therapy for neurological disorders
While the blood-brain barrier is a significant obstacle to gene therapy, directed evolution of viral capsids helps ferry viral vectors across it.
