Gene expression delivery tool ‘slides’ instructions into cells

Drug Discovery World

Researchers say they have successfully used a cell’s natural process for making proteins to ‘slide’ genetic instructions into a cell and produce critical proteins missing from those cells. .

New, highly precise ‘clock’ can measure biological age

Scienmag

Using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at the University of Cologne have developed an ‘aging clock’ that reads the biological age of an organism directly from its gene expression, the transcriptome.
