Nature - DNA computers can use biological material to perform mathematical functions and store information, but their power sources have been fragile. Researchers now say they’ve developed a...

The primatologist challenged what it meant to be a scientist.

The world's universities are under intense pressure. Nature examines the threats they face and asks how the sector can and must adapt to survive.

UCL trialled hours-long surgical procedure to treat disease which causes dementia and paralysis Huntington’s disease, a devastating degenerative illness that runs in families, has been treated successfully for the first time in a breakthrough gene therapy trial. The disease, caused by a single gene defect, steadily kills brain cells leading to dementia, paralysis and ultimately death. Those with a parent with Huntington’s have a 50% chance of developing the disease, which until now has been incurable. Continue reading...

Using SCN2A haploinsufficiency as a proof-of-concept, upregulation of the existing functional gene copy through CRISPR activation was able to rescue neurological-associated phenotypes in Scn2a haploinsufficient mice and human neurons.

Eli Lilly CEO says Britain’s strict regime means it could miss out on new drugs being rolled out unless it pays more * Business live – latest updates The chief executive of the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly has said the UK is “probably the worst country in Europe” for drug prices, amid a row between the industry and government. Dave Ricks said that the UK’s strict pricing regime, allowing it to pay less for drugs than other developed countries, means it would miss out on new drugs being rolled out if it did not raise prices and scrap a rebate scheme.

Genome inheritance during cell divisions relies on replicated sister DNAs being connected by cohesin rings. Minamino et al. reconstitute sister chromatid cohesion establishment during DNA replication using purified budding yeast proteins. The experiments yield molecular insight into more than one way in which sister chromatid cohesion can be built.
