Gene Editing Outcomes Vary By Technology
In the process of gene editing, scientists try to cure disease by using molecular tools to insert, delete, or change DNA in a precise way…
Using sound and bubbles to make bandages stickier and longer lasting
Researchers have discovered that they can control the stickiness of adhesive bandages using ultrasound waves and bubbles. This breakthrough could lead to new advances in medical adhesives, especially in cases where adhesives are difficult to apply such…
A step towards quantum gravity
Solving Einstein’s equations by using quantities that apply across all space and time coordinates could enable physicists to eventually find their ‘white whale’: a quantum theory of gravity.
Pralsetinib achieves tissue-agnostic benefits for patients with RET gene fusions
The targeted therapy pralsetinib was well-tolerated and demonstrated high response rates in patients with RET gene fusions, regardless of tumor type.

Concise synthesis of pleurotin
Chemists report a concise synthesis of pleurotin by way of the Diels-Alder reaction and a radical epimerization. Their late-stage intermediate intersects a milestone 1988 synthesis, reducing the total number of steps needed. The new method could yield …

Cousin of crop-killing bacteria mutating rapidly
A bacterial species closely related to deadly citrus greening disease is rapidly evolving its ability to infect insect hosts, and possibly plants as well.
Chemistry lab students predict spread of COVID-19 with kinetics models
Chemist Jixin Chen looked at the rapid spread of COVID-19 early in the pandemic and saw a novel opportunity for his kinetics lab, where they study the rates of reactions.
New tools can operationalize equity in 239 e-scooter and bike share programs across the U.S.
Shared micromobility programs for e-scooters and bike share are becoming more common each year. How can we make sure they aren’t just being used for fun, but they’re also being prioritized for those who need a quick, affordable and accessible way to ge…

Testosterone promotes ‘cuddling,’ not just aggression, animal study finds
Testosterone can foster friendly, prosocial behavior in males, a new animal study finds. The work also revealed how testosterone influences the neural activity of oxytocin cells — the so-called ‘love hormone’ associated with social bonding.
