Gene editing strategies take center stage in malaria research at MDU
MDU's Centre for Biotechnology brought leading scientists to campus to dissect how gene editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9 are reshaping malaria research and student training.
Future Health 7 articles
Future Health looks beyond established categories to biotechnology and molecular-medicine platforms that could change how disease is predicted, detected, prevented or treated. Emerging diagnostics, biological prediction, genomics-enabled prevention and new therapeutic architectures qualify when there is a concrete mechanism and a plausible translational path. Generic futurism, consumer electronics and broad digital health stay outside the section unless biotechnology is the technology doing the substantive medical work.
CAR-T therapy transforms relapsed lymphoma into a race for treatment access
CAR-T therapy offers a lifeline for patients with relapsed blood cancers, but the real challenge is getting the treatment before time and logistics run out.
AI designs new viruses to fight bacteria and rewrites the rules of biotechnology
Artificial intelligence has crossed a threshold in biotechnology by designing functional viruses that target bacteria, opening vast opportunities and urgent responsibilities for India and the world.
Genomics-driven translocation sparks early breeding surge in Florida scrub-jays
A bold genetic rescue experiment led by UCF biologist Lauren Deaner has triggered unprecedented early breeding among translocated Florida scrub-jays, offering new hope for species recovery.
CAR-T therapy brings remission for Scottish myeloma patient after standard treatments fail
Adam Nicolson became the first person in Scotland to receive CAR-T cell therapy for myeloma after exhausting all other options. Now in remission, his case is driving new research into the therapy’s potential for autoimmune diseases.
Single CAR-T injection prompts immune reset in multiple sclerosis trial
A single in vivo CAR-T injection shows early promise for multiple sclerosis, while new research connects ADHD to digestive issues and looks at how wholegrain diets affect heart risk factors.
Gene edited rootstock offers hope for Florida citrus survival
Florida citrus growers are betting on gene edited rootstock to fight a bacterial disease that has decimated their groves and production.
