Children’s Countrywide Clinic experts created a new pre-scientific gene treatment for a scarce disorder, regarded as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2B, that addresses the principal mobile deficit linked with this illness. Employing a one injection of a small dose gene treatment vector, researchers restored the ability of hurt muscle fibers […]

Mangrove trees use changes in gene activity, including the activity of parasitic ‘jumping genes’, to increase their resilience to stress, a new study finds. — ScienceDaily

Mangrove trees straddle the boundary between land and ocean, in harsh environments characterized by rapidly changing levels of salinity and low oxygen. For most plants, these conditions would mark a death sentence, but mangroves have evolved a remarkable resistance to the stresses of these hostile locations. Now, researchers from the […]
