Gene editing techniques, including CRISPR, prime editing, and nucleases, allow scientists to tackle genetic diseases, cancer, and more. Researchers increasingly apply these techniques to study and develop strategies for gene editing in areas such as target discovery, disease modeling, and precision medicine.Download this ebook from The Scientist’s Creative Services Team to learn how scientists use cutting-edge gene editing technologies to advance personalized medicine therapeutic approaches for a wide range of disorders.

Microwaving preserves more nutrients than longer, high-heat cooking methods.Using less water and shorter cooking times helps retain vitamins and minerals.Microwaving offers quick, efficient cooking without major nutrient loss. Cooking is an art form that has evolved over centuries, incorporating a diverse range of techniques and methods to prepare food. From the traditional practices of baking, grilling and boiling to the more modern techniques like sous-vide and molecular gastronomy, each method uniquely enhances the flavor, texture and nutritional value of ingredients. Amid this culinary diversity, microwaving stands out for its convenience and popularity. It offers a quick, efficient and energy-saving option…

Unregistered sonographers working in baby scan clinics on the UK’s high streets are sometimes giving poor or potentially dangerous advice to pregnant women, the Society of Radiographers has warned.1The professional body and trade union said that its members had seen examples of missed health problems, misdiagnosed conditions, and healthy fetuses misdiagnosed as dead or malformed. It is calling for a change in the law so that only people who have completed approved qualifications in sonography and are registered with the appropriate regulatory body can be allowed to call themselves a sonographer.Individual sonographers can decide to join the register of clinical…

However, a new study published in npj Regenerative Medicine, led by Hina Chaudhry, MD, director of Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, shows that the gene for Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), silenced early in life, can be switched back on to make adult heart cells divide again—without losing their structure or function. In earlier animal work, Chaudhry’s team…

Researchers leverage cutting-edge proteomics platform to unravel the complexities of neurodegenerative disease. Proteomics company Nautilus Biotechnology and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging today revealed the organizations have been working together to bring Nautilus’ single-molecule proteomics platform into an aging research environment for the first time. The companies revealed that the system, deployed for more than six months at the Buck’s labs in Novato, California, has produced reproducible data from neurodegenerative disease samples, providing new insight into disease-related protein modifications. Proteomics, the study of proteins’ interactions, structures, and functions, offers the potential to reveal insights into human biology that…

When the world’s nations meet for COP30 in Belém, Brazil, on 10 November to lock down new commitments to limit dangerous climate change, it will be the first such conference since US President Donald Trump announced in January that his country would, for the second time, exit the landmark Paris climate treaty.Drill, baby drill? Trump policies will hurt climate ― but US green transition is underwayTrump and his administration have championed fossil fuels, called climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” and rolled back federal funding and tax breaks for clean energy introduced under former president…

Cognition deteriorates less rapidly in people with Alzheimer’s disease who take at least 3,000 to 5,000 steps per day. Credit: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg/GettyWhen it comes to preventing Alzheimer’s disease, every step counts. For older people whose brains have begun to show molecular signs of the disease, but who have yet to display any cognitive symptoms, taking as few as 3,000 to 5,000 steps per day can help to stave off mental decline, a study finds1.That level of activity slows cognitive decline by 3 years, on average, the results show. And in similar individuals who walk further, taking 5,000 to 7,500 steps…

[Alexandra DeFoe/The Rockefeller University] The first-ever cellular atlas of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits more diseases than any other species of its kind, has been created. The Mosquito Cell Atlas provides cellular-level resolution of gene expression in every mosquito tissue, from the antennae down to the legs. The atlas was recently published in Cell in the paper, “A single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of the adult Aedes aegypti mosquito.” “This is a comprehensive snapshot of what every cell in the mosquito is doing…
