Oncologists use biopsy and imaging techniques to diagnose and monitor tumor diseases and assess treatment success. Researchers at the University of Zurich and the University Hospital Zurich have ...

DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

Nowadays, there's lots of buzz about spectacular new medical treatments such as personalised cancer therapy with modified immune cells or antibodies. Such treatments, however, are very complex and ...

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer. This allows bacteria to rapidly evolve new traits, such as antibiotic ...

Herbalife has been granted a patent for methods and kits to authenticate botanical DNA fragments in processed botanical products like dietary supplements. The method involves isolating DNA, ligating ...

Researchers created an AI-driven liquid biopsy that scans patterns in fragments of DNA circulating in the blood. The system detected early liver fibrosis and cirrhosis—conditions that often go ...

Scientists have developed a new artificial intelligence–powered blood test that may be able to detect early signs of serious ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...
