Molecular changes in white blood cells can help diagnose ‘the bends’ earlier in divers

Scienmag

First study to show gene expression changes in divers with ‘the bends’ reveals key role of genes for inflammation and immunity For over a century, researchers have known about “the bends”, a serious condition affecting scuba divers. Doctors do not yet have a definitive test […].

Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

‘Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because these technologies involve literally cutting DNA at a specific point in the genome. The exact mechanism depends on the disease in question.

FAIR Game: making data work harder in the race to market 

Drug Discovery World

For example, GEO, the gene expression omnibus database, has been collecting gene expression and functional genomics datasets and making them available to the public for more than 20 years. Many efforts have been made to standardise certain types of results. Volume 23 – Issue 4, Fall 2022 . Reference: .

Women in Science Who Have Paved the Way Forward in Genetics

XTalks

She was actually able to use the research for her doctoral thesis, graduating with a doctorate from Cambridge in 1945. Daly’s histone research proved to be pioneering, being fundamental to our understanding of DNA packaging, gene expression and epigenetics, among other areas in genetic research.
