New viral vectors to deliver genes to neurons efficiently
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have successfully developed new viral vectors to efficiently deliver genes to neurons along the body and across the blood-brain barrier. The researchers used an engineered viral vector, AAV-PHP.S, to label neurons covering the digestive tract with a combination of three different fluorescent proteins. The viruses reach their targets […]
World’s Largest Fusion Reactor Inaugurated in Japan
The world’s largest operational experimental nuclear fusion reactor, the JT-60SA, was inaugurated in Japan. A collaborative effort between the European Union and Japan, the tokamak vessel aims to investigate the feasibility of fusion as a safe, large-scale, and carbon-free energy source. Unlike fission, fusion involves merging two atomic nuclei, and releasing energy. The device, reaching […]
