Simple test for flu could improve diagnosis and surveillance

Fewer than 1% of people who get the flu every year get tested in part because most tests require trained personnel and expensive equipment. Now researchers have developed a low-cost paper strip test that could allow more ...

Understanding the wiring of the human genome

Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn't get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for how researchers can ...

Study: Protein helps prevent breast cancer metastasis

While better screening and improved treatments are leading to better outcomes for patients with breast cancer, 90% of breast cancer deaths are a result of metastasis, or the cancer growing and spreading to other parts of ...

Faster mpox testing through CRISPR

Mpox is a rare viral disease that is spread through physical contact between people. Currently, testing for mpox requires lab equipment and can take a few hours to get test results. But new research suggests a way for faster ...
