Researchers develop a single genome-editing strategy to treat multiple disorders caused by nonsense mutations, promising efficient and cost-effective therapies.

Big pharma and biotech take the earnings stage with reports from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk leading the lineup. Will they help the industry once again outperform AI champ Nvidia?

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

AI can help protein engineers optimize the transcription enzymes used to make mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics, say the authors of a new study.

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

Modern synthetic biology and AI represent both medicine’s greatest breakthrough and warfare’s most terrifying evolution. In this new landscape, where biological weapons can be designed faster than ...
