Research: AI tailors artificial DNA for future drug development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
How our genes are expressed is a process that is fundamental to the functionality of cells in all living organisms. Simply put, the genetic code in DNA is transcribed to the molecule messenger RNA (mRNA), which tells the cell's factory which protein to produce and in which quantities.

Discovery suggests new way to target mantle cell lymphoma
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell M

Stem cell biologists create new human cell types for research
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 2 (ANI): Scientists have managed to generate a new type of human cell in the lab using stem cells. The new cells closely resemble their natural counterparts in early human embryos. As a result, researchers can now better study what happens just after an embryo impl
