Engineering the next generation of cell-based therapeutics is a rapidly evolving field that aims to overcome the challenges faced by current cell therapies, such as identifying the appropriate cell source, generating a viable and potent product, and developing scalable manufacturing processes. Some of the strategies being leveraged to enhance cell therapies include: Synthetic biology : […]

Genomics is being used to study COVID-19 in various ways, including identifying virus strains, understanding their impact on patients, and developing public health responses. Genomic sequencing is used to identify SARS-CoV-2 variants, allowing scientists to track the virus’s evolution and monitor important variants. Advancements in genomics have significantly contributed to the scientific understanding and public

When it comes to cardiovascular health, the role of SCUBE3 is increasingly gaining attention. SCUBE3, which stands for Signal Peptide-CUB-EGF Domain-Containing Protein 3, is a protein that plays a crucial part in the process of blood coagulation and platelet function. This article delves into the significance of SCUBE3 and its implications for cardiovascular well-being. The

The Human Gut Microbiome in Health and Disease The human gut microbiota, consisting of a diverse community of microorganisms, plays a crucial role in maintaining health. In a healthy state, the gut microbiota have numerous positive functions, including energy recovery from the metabolism of nondigestible components of foods, protection of the host from pathogenic invasion,

Sleep is a crucial aspect of our lives, and the amount of time it takes for an individual to fall asleep, known as sleep latency, is a key indicator of sleep need. Sleep latency varies considerably both among and within species and is heritable, but lacks a comprehensive description of its underlying genetic network. A

Histopathology is a crucial field of study that involves the examination of tissue sections to diagnose diseases and disorders. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is a widely used technique in histopathology that highlights the cellular and tissue elements in tissue sections. However, the presence of artifacts, such as pen marks and scanning artifacts, can significantly

Amorphophallus konjac, a plant belonging to the Araceae family, has garnered significant attention due to its economic importance and wide usage in various health and food products. The recent elucidation of its genome has provided valuable insights into the genetic and genomic characteristics of this plant, shedding light on its unique features and potential applications.

Biofortification, an innovative agricultural approach, has emerged as a promising strategy to address the pervasive issue of micronutrient deficiencies, also known as “hidden hunger.” This method involves enhancing the nutritional quality of food crops by increasing the bioavailable concentration of essential vitamins and minerals in their edible portions. By doing so, biofortification aims to provide

Are you aware of the parasitic infection called ascariasis? This type of roundworm infection is caused by ingesting the eggs of the Ascaris lumbricoides worm, which is common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The symptoms of ascariasis can range from mild to severe, and they may include
