Scientists Use Molecular “Claw” to Remove Uranium From Irradiated Mice

July 10, 2019 /in MEDICINE, MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS

Researchers from China’s Soochow University have developed a new molecular “claw” that hooks onto toxic uranium isotopes, making them easier for the kidneys to excrete. If proven functional in humans, it would represent the first effective way for quickly removing the heavy metal from a person’s body. The method could prove vital in areas with […]

Scientist Confirm That The Human Body Is A Mosaic Of Different Genomes

June 12, 2019 /in MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS

A new study has confirmed that the human body is, in fact, a complex mosaic made up of clusters of cells with different genomes. The largest such study to date compiles data from thousands of samples collected from about 500 people and 29 different types of tissue. Scientists say that “normal” human tissues are permeated […]

Chinese Scientists Clone GM Macaques to Study Mental Disorders in a World’s First

January 30, 2019 /in MEDICINE, MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Neuroscience in Shanghai have been the first to clone genetically-altered primates. Five infant macaques share the exact same genes, derived from a fibroblast taken from the skin of a donor monkey. This technique could theoretically produce an unlimited number of replicas and provide clear benefits for […]

Study Finds Opponents Of GM Foods Know The Least About Them

January 23, 2019 /in MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS

Researchers from the University of Colorado have published interesting results from their survey on acceptance of genetically modified (GM) foods. They found that the most extreme opponents of GM foods actually know the least about the science behind it, but believe the opposite. These eye-opening insights shed light on an increasingly relevant topic and could […]
