Researchers map the neural mechanisms of dyslexia in the brain.
Dyslexia is one of the most widespread learning disabilities. Different therapeutic approaches, and learning strategies are used to tackle the reading and writing difficulties associated
Synthetic Biology
Synthetic platelet ‘decoys’ outsmart both clots and cancer.
Platelets are cells which circulate in the bloodstream and help form blood clots to stop bleeding and promote healing when a person is injured. However,
Manual Body Regulation
Genetically-engineered olfactory cells successfully bypass the BBB to kill brain cancer tumours.
Olfactory neurons are cells in the nasal cavity which perceive odors, passing the information along to the brain, and have the ability to regenerate. They
Nanotechnology
Augmented injection gives mammals night vision.
Vision is essential for humans, with mammals able to detect visible light between 400 and 700 nm on the electromagnetic spectrum. In mammalian photoreceptor cells,

Precision Genetics And Epigenetics
Living artificial life constructed using human DNA.
Synthetic biology is quickly moving towards a future in which genomes can be written to design, with researchers using this discipline to better define the
CRISPR used to develop first biosynthetic dual-core cell computer.
In biology, cells sense and process many environmental inputs. These inputs are then processed to produce outputs, such as development, differentiation, or immune responses modulated
IMMUNOLOGY
New class of antibiotic synthesized from the microbiome.
Antibiotics are medicines used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria adapt in response to the use of these medicines and
