Researchers have made significant advances in genetically modified plants that produce alpha-amylase inhibitor proteins, making them indigestible to pests like bedbugs, beetles, weevils, and woodworms. Gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR, offer a promising solution to combat insect pests without compromising human consumption.
Researchers developed a robot that uses machine learning to automate microinjection in genetic research, enabling large-scale experiments. The technology has the potential to expand genetic research capabilities while reducing costs.
Researchers discovered the cellular mechanism and molecular trajectory for formation of adult pluripotent stem cells in the acoel worm Hofstenia miamia. This study provides insight into regenerative abilities of certain animals and may lead to new understanding of how stem cells are made.
Researchers have successfully created transgenic three-banded panther worms to study regeneration, revealing detailed insights into the cellular anatomy of these animals. By manipulating specific genes, scientists can now investigate the role of muscle cells in holding the worm's body together and storing information for regeneration.
Researchers at Penn Veterinary Medicine have successfully demonstrated the potential of a new strategy for genetic modification of large animals. By employing a harmless gene therapy virus, they can transfer genetic modifications to male reproductive cells, which are then passed naturally on to offspring. This approach has shown promis...
