Generating embryo models from stem cells

A team of researchers have developed a method to generate embryo models from murine stem cells, in the hope of […]

Supermeres: the newly discovered distinct extracellular nanoparticle

Researchers have discovered distinct extracellular nanoparticles, termed supermeres, that have the potential to act as circulating biomarkers and therapeutic targets […]

Sperm cells developed from primate stem cells

With male infertility rates rising globally, researchers have shown for the first time that functional sperm cells can be made […]

How is human pregnancy unique?

In a recent study, researchers delved into the evolutionary history of pregnancy, identifying hundreds of genes that evolved to be […]

Combining single-cell and metagenomics to characterise the microbiome

Metagenomic analysis has greatly advanced our understanding of the human microbiome. However, metagenome-assembled genomes are often imprecise and are unable […]

Exploring Alzheimer’s disease using single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing data

Scientists have developed a network-based methodology that leverages single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing data to uncover novel therapeutic targets for Alzheimer’s disease. […]

Genome Giants: Kay Davies – Human Geneticist and Professor of Genetics, University of Oxford

Dame Kay Davies is a human geneticist and Professor of Genetics at the University of Oxford. Davies has spent her […]

New ultra-sensitive detection of human papillomavirus (HPV)

Researchers have explored whether a sequencing approach, called HPV-seq, could improve detection of the human papillomavirus in patients with low […]

How cancer cells actively evade the immune system

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected relationship between the body’s immune system and tumorigenesis, which could prove useful for the development […]

Regulating human germline genome editing

Researchers have recently published a paper describing how the development of an ‘informed adaptive consensus’ approach to regulating human germline […]
