By now, if you aren’t aware of the association between smoking and lung cancer, then it is possible you may have just awoken from some
In the early 2000s, a long-standing problem affecting diabetes sufferers around the world seemed on the brink of being solved. After years of research and
In May 2012, the University of California, Berkeley, filed a patent application for biochemist Jennifer Doudna and the University of Vienna’s Emmanuelle Charpentier, then of
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded this morning (October 4) to three scientists who developed cryo-electron microscopy, a method that allows scientists to freeze
A team of Chinese researchers who were the first to report having applied CRISPR to human embryos have done it again—this time upgrading their technique
Today, August 30, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a revolutionary, first-in-class cancer immunotherapy for children and young adults with relapsed or refractory
