Anaesthetist John Carlisle has spotted numerous problems in a large number of #research papers, and his findings have led to hundreds of retracted papers. #DataAnalytics#clinicaltrials https://t.co/xaScpH9JIz
Gene drives are capable of altering #genomes of entire animal populations by passing down #mutations through generations faster than natural #inheritance. Recent advancements raise concerns about unleashing this powerful technology. https://t.co/tp9w6ziapX
Newly developed oral #therapy has replenished the “good” bacteria in the gut and prevented #food#allergies from forming. Contrary to the current therapies, it has the potential to treat food allergies at a much broader scope. https://t.co/4iPJ7esS4H
Researchers have found a molecular connection between a common #food preservative in processed foods, neuronal disruption, and #autism. https://t.co/AuwuQbEuPj
Scientists have found a way to nearly double the amount of universal #donor#blood available. They discovered microbes in the human gut that produce two enzymes which efficiently strip type A blood of its #antigens, transforming it into type O. https://t.co/gK9wI2DJNv
Researchers have developed a new #test that can easily measure common #stress hormones using sweat, blood, urine or saliva. "The silent killer” of the modern age, could finally become simple to detect. https://t.co/vvoJpUQ3c7
The Coca-Cola Company has funded scientific research on fitness and public health. But, with many conditions: right to review any nutrition research before publication, right to remove the disclosure of the funding source and even prevent publication. https://t.co/xg7RbmyJ97
Scientists hope an end to the #AIDS epidemic could be in sight after eight years long study found men whose #HIV infection was fully suppressed by antiretroviral #drugs had no chance of infecting their partner. https://t.co/4htQ3ITpgX
Scientists have started using #CRISPR gene-editing technology to craft new model organisms or to study the animals that they are more interested in. https://t.co/oJtIqwSuOe
It seems we are finally getting a clearer picture of what microgravity, radiation, and the #space environment do to an #astronaut’s body after prolonged time in space. https://t.co/3Nd38JQMe8
Farming #spiders is incredibly inefficient. The new method could clear the way for the production of spider #silk and other scarce proteins that could even be used for future #space missions. https://t.co/WLSZy0609O
Scientists have developed a synthetic #alcohol substitute he calls Alcarelle, which could eliminate the downsides of alcohol consumption, from #hangovers to alcohol-related #cancers and even physical #addiction. https://t.co/SSIAW8Qqve
An advisory panel to the World Health Organization (#WHO) has called for the creation of a global registry to monitor #gene-editing research in #humans. ://splice-bio.com/who-panel-calls-for-registry-of-human-gene-editing-projects/
Latest clinical evidence unequivocally denies any link between #autism and the #vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella, in hopes of mitigating the re-emergence of potentially fatal #diseases. https://t.co/hZnZkxUCZ3
The #yeast is used in human culture for millennia. Now, it is one of the favorite organisms for genetic research. Scientists from California have modified brewer’s yeast to manufacture #cannabis compounds including the psychoactive chemical #THC. https://t.co/VSNOYIIiGM
