Herpes Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease
“It was as long ago as 1991 when we discovered that, in many elderly people infected with HSV1, the virus is present also in the brain, and then in 1997 that it confers a strong risk of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain of people who have a specific genetic factor.”
Neural Circuits Controlled By Sound Waves
In the maze of our brains, there are various pathways by which neural signals travel. These pathways can go awry in patients with neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders, including epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Researchers have developed new therapeutic strategies to more precisely target neural pathways involved in these conditions, but they often require surgery.
Gene Editing Therapy Made Safer With New CRISPR Technique
Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin took an important step toward safer gene editing cures for life-threatening disorders, from cancer to HIV to Huntington’s disease, by developing a technique that can spot editing mistakes a popular tool known as CRISPR makes to an individual’s genome. The research appears today in the journal Cell.
Immune Cells Boosted by Nanoparticles
By developing nanoparticle “backpacks” that hold immune-stimulating drugs, and attaching them directly to T cells, the MIT engineers showed in a study of mice that they could enhance those T cells’ activity without harmful side effects. In more than half of the treated animals, tumors disappeared completely.
Biotechnology Innovation Platform Launched by HKU
Biotechnology Innovation Platform Launch expected to become a national-level technology startup incubator. It aims to host at least 50 spinoff companies and commercialize the results of at least 10 HKU research projects within five years. The platform will focus on key areas including cancer treatment, medical devices and infectious disease treatment.

Realtime Flexible Sensor for Healing HKU Engineering and Medicine collaborate and develop a real-time flexible sensor that makes inflammation...
Neural Network Recognizes Molecular Handwriting
Researchers at Caltech have developed an artificial neural network made out of DNA that can solve a classic machine learning problem: correctly identifying handwritten numbers. The work is a significant step in demonstrating the capacity to program artificial intelligence into synthetic biomolecular circuits.
Alzheimer’s Disease Study Suggests Viral Beginnings
More than a century after its discovery, no effective prevention or treatment exists for this progressive deterioration of brain tissue, memory and identity. With more people living to older ages, there is a growing need to clarify Alzheimer’s disease risk factors and disease mechanisms and use this information to find new ways in which to treat and prevent this terrible disorder.
The beating brain: A video captures the organ’s rhythmic pulsations
A study recently published in the journal Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and co-authored by Stanford life-science research assistant Itamar Terem, then-postdoc Samantha Jane Holdsworth, PhD, (now at the University of Auckland) and several other Stanford colleagues describes a new imaging method that, by means of a kind of strobe-action amplification technique, is able to visually blow up the minute heartbeat-induced pulsations of the brain to produce mind-boggling video sequences such as the one you’ve hopefully taken a peek at here.
Neovii & Mundipharma Agreement for Solid Organ & Stem Cell Transplant
Neovii pharmaceuticals AG of Rapperswil, Switzerland and Mundipharma have entered into an agreement giving Mundipharma the rights to develop and distribute its polyclonal antibody immunosuppressant Grafalon®, in China and Japan from end October.
ACROMEC Healthcare Pharma Cleanroom Contract Worth $6.2M
ACROMEC Limited (“ACROMEC”, SGX:43F), an established specialist engineering service provider in the field of controlled environments serving mainly the healthcare, biomedical, research and academia sectors, has secured three new contracts totaling approximately S6.2 million.
Dynacure secures €47 million financing to advance lead program into clinical development
Dynacure, a biotechnology company developing new treatments for patients affected by serious orphan disorders, announced today the completion of a €47 million financing round (~US$55 million) to advance its lead program into clinical development. Andera Partners (formerly Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners) led the financing round, joined by Pontifax, Bpifrance, Kurma Partners and IdInvest Partners.

Since the first DNA cloning experiments almost a half century ago, biotechnology techniques such as genetic engineering have developed to allow for the creation of engineered biological molecules. The biotechnology field focuses on designing and innovating new and different biological microorganisms and cells, constantly finding ways to create new gene formations and figure out how they work. The research and development of gene formations often happens in transgenic animals and plants. The biotechnology revolution has brought on an abundance of commercial applications that include gene cloning, directed mutagenesis, DNA sequencing, RNA interference, biomolecule labeling and detection, and nucleic acid amplification.
