Noncoding RNA molecules called Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) normally suppress gene activity in humans. Geneticists are using piRNAs in nematode worms for gene silencing to allow biomedical research and drug development to advance. They created a 21-letter RNA sequence and combined it with natural piRNA machinery and silenced certain genes. They were […]
Research created a new, bio-inspired, blood-repelling tissue glue that may be a better solution to treating traumatic injuries. The researchers received funding to commercialize their glue and to perform more preclinical studies in animal models from the MIT Deshpande Center. The new adhesive can stick to surfaces even when covered with […]
