Scientists set up the “unknome” database for human genes we know very little about

Researchers from the United Kingdom hope that a new, publicly available database they have created will shrink, not grow, over time. That’s because it is a compendium of the thousands of understudied proteins encoded by genes in the human genome, whose existence is known but whose functions are mostly not.

Application of base editors in organoids opens new doors for cancer research

Researchers from the Organoid group (Hubrecht Institute, Utrecht University)) and the Princess Máxima Center (Utrecht, The Netherlands) have taken steps to advance cancer tumour models by using base editors to simultaneously introduce multiple cancer-related mutations into healthy organoids. They thereby succeeded in efficiently making tumour organoids that model liver, colorectal and endometrial cancer. The results […]
