Genetically modified organisms have been at the center of controversy for decades. But what does the science actually say? Modern genetic engineering allows scientists to introduce specific traits ...

"So, we are now colonizing that central space, and the bacterium is essentially ridding the body of the tumor." The post ...

"Wider, appropriate and long-term application of genetic improvement in aquaculture, with a focus on selective breeding, will help boost food production to meet a projected increase in demand for fish ...

Genetic modification in horticultural crops, particularly within the Cucurbitaceae family, is often hindered by complex tissue culture requirements and environmental pressures such as climate change.

A new technique developed by researchers from Macquarie University and the California Institute of Technology described in Nature Communications on 13 August could allow scientists to more simply and ...

Genetic defects are exceedingly common, which is not surprising considering just how many cells make up our bodies, including our reproductive cells. While most of these defects have no or only minor ...

Out of these eight strains of mice, only the CAST mouse was susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, including beta, omicron and delta variants. The eight strains include A/J, B6J, CAST, 129S1, NSG, NZO, PWK, and ...

Investigators affiliated with VIB and UGent recently achieved great success with a study involving biomedical research on mouse models. The research group of Prof Peter Vandenabeele (VIB/UGent) ...

Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, MIT researchers ...

An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify ...
