This dance revolves around the perceived threat scientific discoveries pose to sacred scripts, challenging religious doctrines entrenched in the binary code of belief. In this techno-theological…
New enzyme allows CRISPR technologies to accurately target almost all human genes
Credit: Nature Chemical Biology (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41589-023-01481-5 A team of engineers at Duke University have developed a method to broaden the reach of CRISPR technologies. While the original CRISPR system could only target 12.5% of the human genome, the new method expands access to nearly every gene to potentially target…

Investigating needle-free ultrasound vaccine delivery
Ultrasound pulses deliver vaccines through the skin without needles. This technique, which employs sound waves to create bubbles that forge a path for the vaccine, may be especially helpful for DNA vaccines. Credit: Darcy Dunn-Lawless An estimated quarter of adults and two-thirds of children have strong fears around needles, according…

Developing more advanced renal organoids to model polycystic kidney disease
Credit: Cell Reports (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.113431 A team of CiRA researchers, building upon their previous work on differentiating iPS cells into kidney organoids, have made significant improvements to build a better model of kidney development and diseases for use as a robust platform for drug discovery. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney…
Multi-domain and complex protein structure prediction using inter-domain interactions from deep learning
Overview of the method DeepAssembly is designed to automatically construct multi-domain protein or complex structure through inter-domain interactions from deep learning. Figure 1 shows an overview of the DeepAssembly protocol. Starting from the input sequence of multi-domain protein (or protein complex), DeepAssembly first generates multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) from genetic databases…
