New applications of proteins in molecular diagnostics utilizing single-molecule real-time imaging
For the first time ever, researchers can view DNA repair using real-time, single-molecule imaging. Scientists from the University of Pittsburgh in collaboration with researchers from Carnegie Mellon and Pitt, induced oxidative stress in telomeres and observed as an enzyme repaired damage. Read More

The CRISPR fight continues after nearly a decade
After many years of hearing about the ability to edit a genome, many of us (scientist or not) are finally getting used to the idea. However, in federal patent offices and research institutions, this topic has been and continues to be the subject of serious debate. Read More

The Human Side of Science: Scientific Personality Assessment in Action
Over 900 scientists participated in our Scientific personality assessment where they determined if they are a(n): Organizer (39%), Leader (28%), Enthusiast (17%), Explorer(15%). The Science Advisory Board determined that there is no archetypal personality type, but rather that scientists are diverse with unique strengths that help build a strong scientific community.

Genome mining has potential uses in synthetic biology and drug discovery
Researchers discovered a cluster of genes in Pseudomonas syringae which infects plants. The results of this research were published in Science on July 19th. However, this natural product produced belongs to a special class of ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides. Read More

The European Commission pursues open science and why it’s important
Scientists believe that there is a reproducibility crisis in the scientific community where many scientists fail to reproduce experiments, according to a new report by Science | Business in July 2019. Open science is a high priority for the European Commission, with around 70% of all data generated by EU-funded programs being accessible to the public. Read More

Microbiome-directed therapeutic foods tackle childhood malnutrition
The results of two new reports, linking the growth of infants and children to healthy development of gut microbiomes, were published in Science on July 12th. Researchers utilized microbiome-directed complementary foods in an approach that focuses on selectively boosting key growth-promoting gut microbes using ingredients present in affordable, culturally acceptable foods.

CAR-T cell therapy research shows encouraging signs for mesothelioma patients
Every year, nearly 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States. While this is just a small percentage of overall cancer diagnoses, this rare cancer is one that has proven to be extremely difficult to treat. Fortunately, even with this cancer affecting a disproportionate number of patients, researchers are continuing to study mesothelioma in hopes of improving the disease’s prognosis. Read More

New clinical trial testing effectiveness of anti-obesity drug in conjunction with genetic screening
A new phase 3 clinical trial expected to begin in late July 2019, will test an anti-obesity drug targeting people with rare genetic conditions, and will be tied to a genetic study attempting to create a more comprehensive understanding of the genes associated with obesity. Read More

Landmark study explores public understanding of science and trust in scientific and medical professionals
Understanding global perceptions and knowledge of science is of growing interest to the scientific community. Organizations such as 3M, with their State of Science Index Survey and the Wellcome Global Monitor (WGM), from the Wellcome Foundation and Gallup World Poll, explore attitudes towards science and medicine, and also confidence in scientists themselves.

Leaders in science and engineering publications over the last decade: China and the US
Capturing the attention of policy makers and companies serving the academic research market the countries with the largest number of science and engineering (S&E) articles has significantly evolved between 2007 and 2017. China leads the list in 2017 followed by the US, a reverse from 2007, according to a May report from the NSF’s National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics. Read More
