A mesh-like network of cells within mice’s skin plays a previously unknown role in pain perception, researchers reported today (August 16) in Science. The scientists
When Sara Campbell first typed “exercise and microbiome” into PubMed in 2010 and hit enter, “the search literally said zero,” she tells The Scientist. Campbell
Despite the recent approval of two cancer therapies that use CAR T cells to treat lymphoma, 25 percent of eligible patients still choose to enter
People with a rare form of inherited blindness are being enrolled for the world’s first in vivo study of a CRISPR-based therapy, the Associated Press
Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Jack Reed (D-RI) introduced a resolution yesterday (July 15) calling for global collaboration in developing guidelines for
What you see in the image above is a lobe of a liver, times two—on the right, a flesh-and-blood one, removed from a transplant donor,
Researchers have developed lab-generated lymph node–like organoids that, when transplanted into mice in place of lymph nodes that have been removed, drain fluid and connect
Vaccines prevent millions of deaths a year and have pushed some diseases to the edge of existence. Yet it’s proven highly challenging, if not impossible,
By tweaking the chimeric antigen receptor or CAR engineered into T cells to treat patients’ lymphoma, scientists have avoided side effects common to the immunotherapy,
Keep hepatocytes fresh Freshly isolated primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) quickly lose their identity and function in vitro, limiting their application in modeling infectious liver diseases
Sientists have used CRISPR technology to edit out a lung-disease–causing gene while mice were in utero, rescuing the function of the lung and not affecting

Current genetic testing methods often fall short in diagnosing pediatric patients with developmental delay, intellectual disability, or congenital abnormalities. Sometimes, this is because certain genetic
A one-of-a-kind rhesus macaque named Grady is growing up under intense scrutiny at the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Beaverton. That’s because she has
Genetically engineered yeast produce the cannabinoids THC and CBD, researchers reported today (February 27) in Nature. Much like in their typical application of brewing beer,
Without night vision goggles, mammals have no hope of seeing infrared light, which has wavelengths longer than light on the visible spectrum. But in a
Fetal DNA that is circulating in the blood of pregnant women is frequently extracted noninvasively and screened for common chromosome aneuploidies that cause disease such
The DNA of life on Earth naturally stores its information in just four key chemicals — guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine, commonly referred to as
A new type of vaccine vehicle—this one literally has a teeny tiny motor—can drive itself to the mucosal linings of mouse intestines, potentially allowing for

A new technique that makes dead mice transparent and hard like plastic is giving researchers an unprecedented view of how different types of cell interact
The world’s first gene-edited babies were announced early this week not in a scientific publication or at a conference, but in news reports. He Jiankui,
