Scientists have successfully adapted CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the native DNA of Entamoeba histolytica for the first time. By disabling a key virulence gene, researchers have built a new molecular toolkit to study how this lethal parasite causes disease.
Scientists used machine learning to extract insights from 30 years of scattered chemistry data. The AI discovered that carbon dioxide can be converted into clean methanol at lower pressures than previously assumed, which was confirmed by real-world lab tests.
Researchers discovered that a common marine microbe synthesises formaldehyde to defend itself against a specific predator. This natural chemical interaction regulates marine food webs and helps control fish infections. Understanding these microscopic defences opens up new career paths in marine biotechnology and ecological management.
Researchers discovered that active thinking drives brain communication in awake individuals. However, during anaesthesia or chronic disorders of consciousness, this flexible communication collapses back onto rigid, physical anatomical pathways.
