A group of researchers from MIT, the Broad Institute, and Rockefeller University, have developed a new technique for precise genetic alteration of living cells by inserting or deleting genes. In order to create new genome-editing technique, the researchers modified a set of bacterial proteins that normally protect bacteria from viruses. According to researchers, the technology… »

Researches from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), California, have determined a molecular structure that gives us a better insight into the mysterious inner workings of Chang Shan – a Chinese herbal medicine used for thousands of years to treat malaria related fevers. The researchers used high-resolution imaging technique to reveal atomic details of a two-headed… »
