Mosquitoes Genetically Modified as Malaria-Blocking Insect Model

Scientists used CRISPR gene editing to create a parasite-resistant strain of Anopheles mosquito capable of rapidly introgressing malaria-blocking genes into a mosquito population through its progeny, ultimately eliminating the insects’ ability to transmit the Plasmodium falciparum parasite to humans.   More...

Insights into Evolution of Drought-Tolerance Revealed by Pineapple Genome

Upon sequencing its genome, scientists begin to home in on genes and pathways that enable the pineapple plant to thrive in water-limited environments and open a new window on CAM photosynthesis, circadian rhythms, and the complicated evolutionary history of cultivated grasses like sorghum and rice, which share a distant ancestor with pineapple.  More...

The Structure of the Nasal Cavity Channels Food Smells into the Nose and Avoids the Lungs

Three-dimensional printing technology was used to create a model of the nasal cavity that enabled researchers to demonstrate why the smell of food goes into the nose rather than down into the lungs.  More...

How Blocking TROY Signaling Slows Brain Cancer Growth

Cancer researchers have found how the low molecular weight drug propentofylline slows the growth of the aggressive brain tumor glioblastoma multiforme.  More...

Actin in the Nucleus Triggers a Process That Directs Stem Cells to Mature into Bone

A team of cell biologists has discovered why treatment of mesenchymal stem cells with the mycotoxin cytochalasin D directs them to mature into bone cells rather than into fat cells, a finding that might prove useful in the development of treatments for bone loss.   More...
