λ exonuclease (λExo) binds 5′-phosphorylated single-stranded DNA (pDNA) at complementary regions on double-stranded DNA and DNA–RNA duplexes under ambient conditions without a PAM-like motif. In the presence of Mg2+, λExo then digests the pDNA into nucleotides.
A differentiation method informed by developmental biology converts human pluripotent stem cells to engraftable hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells without the use of transgenes.
Spreading powdered basalt on farmland traps CO2 from the atmosphere, a technology that is cheap, requires no huge steel reactors and, with a biotech boost, may even reduce fertilizer use.
Patent applications filed after a New Drug Application (NDA) is approved are uncommon and do not appear to substantially delay approval of generic drugs in most cases.
The Midwest Healthcare Case Competition lets graduate trainees gain practical experience and exposure to alternative careers in a condensed time frame without taking away from research commitments.
Scientists are using ever more sophisticated AI algorithms trained on vast, unlabeled datasets to develop models that can ‘interpret’ biological data to help guide biomolecule design.
