Scientists can now edit multiple sites in the genome at the same time to learn how different DNA stretches co-operate in health and disease. Dubbed 'CHyMErA', for Cas Hybrid for Multiplexed Editing and Screening Applications, the method can be applied to any type of mammalian cell.

Scientists have described the structure of an endogenously sourced, functioning neuronal amyloid at atomic resolution. It is composed of self-aggregated Orb2, the fruit fly version of the mRNA-binding cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding (CPEB) protein, which is linked to long-term memory.

Research has found people who vape exhibit similar chemical modifications in their overall genome and in parts of their DNA as people who smoke cigarettes. This is the first study to show that vapers, like smokers, have these biologically important changes detectable in their blood cells.

New research presents a first-of-its-kind cancer treatment strategy that targets a pro-tumor protein FROUNT and suppresses tumor-associated macrophages. Through animal experiments, the researchers found that by regulating FROUNT expression in TAMs, cancer growth could be suppressed.

The first organism with chlorophyll genes that doesn't photosynthesize has been discovered. This is actually very dangerous because "chlorophyll is very good at capturing energy, but without photosynthesis to release the energy slowly it is like living with a bomb in your cells."
