Multi-institutional team reports a method—called 3D genome assembly—that can create a human reference genome, entirely from scratch, for less than $10,000
University of North Carolina scientists found that mucin proteins, which make mucus thick and sticky, fail to unfold properly in the airways of people with cystic fibrosis. And they found the lack of water in the lung can trigger the misfolding mucins
The scaffolds can then be primed and seeded with human stem cells to optimize their growth in the lab dish and, ultimately, create novel biomedical implants
Researchers found that increasing dairy intake in adolescent girls neither decreases nor increases gain in percent body fat or weight compared to similar girls who do not increase dairy intake
